Surface wax removal
Hi all,
Can anyone help me?, I am trying to apply mirotone stain to some timber but it seems to not want to take evenly.
It seems as if there is something on the surface repelling it.
I suspect that I may have wiped the surface with a cloth that has somehow got wax on it.
Could you please give me some suggestions to remove the wax.
Thanks,
Keith.

So its "stain" that you are trying to apply? Could glue have got in teh pores? Or also silicon seems to be a devil to get off. 
You could try whiping down with acetone! 
Or resanding.

Thanks for your reply Tea Lady.
I have sanded back the portion of the project that I was having trouble with.
I then wiped it over with methylated spirit and then sprayed the stain.
It seems to be going OK now.
Regards,
Keith.
