Staining inside carcasses/bookshelves
I have always had problems getting an even stain at the junction of panels inside a carcass or bookshelf. The corners/junctions always seem to end up with more stain than the rest. This is especially problematic when using a rag or pad.
Is there any trick to eliminate this problem?

Glue over stain
Thanks for the advice. Another follow on question - if I get stain/shellac on parts that need to be glued together or in biscuit slots will this then interfere with the bond strength after assembly?

Yes! make sure you clean all glue from surfaces to be polished.

In a lot of manufactured timber work the aim is to finish the pieces as far as posible before assembly.
I am beginning to understand why, But you have to modify your assembly methods to take best advantage.
