/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I think I have the right shade - but how do I get the stain darker? Do I need to buy a different darker color? Can I keep restaining after it has dried?

I’m aware that different wood / grain / sanding roughness can all impact the darkness , and also aware that I’ll probably never get an exact stain match. But I’d still like to get closer than where I’m at now.

I think I have the shade of stain I want but I always have a problem getting it dark enough. Do I do multiple coats? Do I go back and buy a deeper shade?

You can see on the paper it’s a pretty close match.
