Gel Stain Job Gone Wrong - Bathroom Vanity

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

I applied Minwax Wiping Stain in Dark Roast on my bathroom vanity using a brush (I know). I have only applied one coat and already covered up the grain. What can I do now to bring the grain back?

I used a foam brush on the cabinet and can still see the wood grain. I'm thinking I may need to strip the doors and restain...any other ideas?

Most videos I've watched recommend multiple coats but I don't want it to turn out any darker. Should I just leave the one coat on the cabinet?

By the way this used to be honey oak. I'm having my countertops replaced with quartz, so need to get this ready soon.
