Stain over stain
I recently acquire an old walnut dresser. The face of the drawers were pretty good and seem to only require a refresher of stain. At my local homedepot store I was told about Minwax stain clothes that you can purchase and apply over old stain.
So I proceeded to apply some stain on each drawers and wiped off the excess. After that I applied a bit of Old English oil and the drawers looks great.
After they had dried , 2 out of the 4 looked great and refreshed and the other 2 had some streaks in some areas.
I should point out that theses 2 drawers had the wood grain going on the vertical instead of the horizontal and I (stupid) applied the stain on the horizontal because I didn't notice.
Can anyone help me and tell me if there is anyway I can remove these streaks?
Should I apply more stain but in the right direction this time?
Thank you
Marc

Welcome to the forums!

Scrubbing the affected areas with a rag wet with paint thinner might help.

Thank you for your help. Just to confirm the rag should be wet of paint thinner correct? And not water and paint thinner.
