I used a pre-stain wood conditioner on a softwood before applying the first coat of stain. It looks good--much better in fact that when I didn't use a wood conditioner on another softwood piece. I want to apply a 2nd coat of stain to achieve a darker result. Do I apply the wood conditioner again on the already stained surface before the 2nd coat of stain or should I just apply the 2nd stain coat? The instructions on the can are confusing as to whether the conditioner should be applied again before a 2nd coat of stain. It might be implied in the instructions, but am not sure. I appreciate anyone's time with this question.
