   Thanks, Jim,

   I have ordered a pint and will post a report on how well it controls blotch on Cherry

   I've used Benite for decades

   Frosty,

   I've used Benite from Daley's as a stain controller mainly on soft woods for nearly forty years. It works good on fir, hemlock and alder to keep dark stains from turning the wood blotchy. I've never used it much on hardwoods.

   You pre-coat the wood before staining. The trick is how long you let it soak in and how heavily you flood the wood. The moe Benite that has soaked into the wood, the lighter the stain will take. I would experiment on some scraps before going to the final workpiece.

   Good luck, Bret

   Thanks for the info. I definitely plan to use scraps for my test.
