I am looking to stain my stand a Walnut color. I started to sand last night and had a tough time getting the oak stain or varnish off. The stand is the typical one you buy at your local LFS. It has a light oak color on it now. It might even be made by All-glass since that is what my tank is.
My questions is do i have to get all the stain off or is it ok to sand it a few times and get it nice and smooth. I used my corner cat sander with 80g and 220g to try and get the stain off. What is this stuff they put on the stands?
The new stain is going to be darker then what is on now. I plan on putting 3 or 4 coats of stain and poly on it and sand in bewteen coats.
If I don't get the stain off is that allright? Will it look crappy?
Thanks
