This issue has come up a few times so I figured this might be of some use to others.
The test piece is just a piece of clear Pine (white wood as HD and Lowes like to call it) sanded with 220 grit sandpaper.
In the first picture on the left side I used the Minwax wood conditioner before staining, the right side is just raw wood no conditioner.
The second picture shows the raw wood on the left and on the right I dampened the wood with a towel soaked in water. I let the towel sit there for about 15 minutes the same as the conditioner.
The last picture is all 3 techniques from left to right it is conditioner, raw wood, raw wood dampened by wet towel.
What do you think?
