Blotchy Birch Info. / Resource
I have recently found Charles Neil Woodworking and his pre stain conditioner treatment. Product worked as advertised and it worked as shown on his video demonstration.
This was on both Cabinet birch and some 7 ply Baltic Birch that I applied the pre satin conditioner. Then applied a clear poly over top, no staining. Worked well and better results I felt than a sanding sealer type of treatment. Did the 2 coat process prior to application of the Poly top coat.
This also worked excellent on Poplar trim pieces prior to a water based stain. Controlled blotching well then clear Lacquer on top. Seems pretty fool proof and worked well in both cases.
