Wish I’d used this the first time! This conditioner prevented the blotchy dark results I got previously. I used the water based one and it went on smoothly.

Results were EVEN!

a year ago
The water-based pre stain worked so well! I sanded down the cabinets as directed, applied it evenly, and it delivered noticeable results. When applied correctly and consistently, my stain results were smooth. Where I neglected to use it, my results were less satisfactory. For my first time on the cheap (and for a kitchen to be remodeled in the proximate future), this product really made a difference!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Mandatory!

Seriously helped make the stain go on smoother. Was my first time staining furniture and after I applied conditioner to one drawer it made it obvious which parts needed more sanding. Helped a lot! Also was super satisfying to apply.

Yes, I recommend this product.
