I work hard getting a silky smooth finish but then if I have to stain the wood it all goes wrong, hidden imperfections show up. Current issue is Maple lipping on maple veneered MDF - apart from the previously hidden traces of planer marks showing up, the softer growth rings of the maple are going darker and more patchy looking than any of the veneer no matter how much I sand (worked up to 240 grit).
Can I get some recommendations on sandpaper types, brands, and techniques. Also stains/dyes etc you recommend.
