always runs… the point of sanding in between coats is to smooth out the finish. Im sorry it wasnt clear YOU MUST WAIT FOR IT TO DRY COMPLETELY, then sand lightly with a fine grit steel wool. starting with a coarser steel wool(not the soap stuff you clean pots with) and then ending with a finer one. they will advise you at home depot. this is not the same kinda sanding with sandpaper that you were doing to remove the stain. this is lighter.more like the action you would use if you were cleaning it well with a sponge or rag. its like putting icing on a cake when you want it to be a smooth look for decorations. you put the first icing on and smooth off all the excess and imperfections. then you put another coat and smooth again. and the more you do it on the wood the more beautiful the wood will look and feel.and it brings out the lustre. Its an absolute must. ! and use a tack rag each time after sanding. sanding smooths thats its primary job, it also removes paint and stain.and i agree with others that a bleaching agent prob needs to be used to remove the stain.
