First Build ES-1

Some people have found this to be the case. But I think it depends which combination of stain and top coat you use. If the oil acts as a thinner for the colour then it could well draw the stain out and smear it. Sometimes its best to try it out on scrap wood first.

Thanks for the feedback Fretworn I've used water based stain not oil or spirit, would that make it neutral to thinning after the water has evaporated ? Will experiment, have a few test pieces to wok on.Cheers
