Missed the part about staining wood surfaces. I stained my whole kitchen table, the whole bottle over the whole thing. Some parts are better than others, but the worst is very light tan/white with darker brown marks where you can tell where the wood was. I believe the table is a cherry/pine type, anything I could do other than stain it? Now before you say something like, "Read the label, dummy!" I just wanted you to know that it was a complete accident. Any ideas?
