Troubleshooting
Brush marks are visible after staining.
Ensure you are applying the stain evenly and following the wood grain. Try using a lighter touch and allowing the stain to self-level. You may also need to sand the surface lightly after the first coat, then apply a second coat.
The brush is leaving streaks or uneven coverage.
Make sure the brush is clean and free of any debris. Check the stain's consistency; if it's too thick, consider thinning it slightly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The brush is not picking up enough stain.
Ensure the brush is fully saturated with stain before application. Avoid dipping the entire brush into the stain; instead, dip about half the brush and tap off any excess.
