controlling grain raise

In Response To: Re: Great Ref / Stains and Epoxy (Wilf Cornell)

: I used the Minwax Vermont Maple water based stain on my North Sea and it
: worked great. No epoxy problems whatsoever. Just one thing - before
: staining, wet the wood down with a damp cloth and let dry to raise the
: grain and then sand. Then stain. Have fun!

I have a Minwax flyer that suggests using their "pre-stain wood contioner" that is designed to control grain raising.

My confidence in Minwax is growing. I thank you.
