I have found the certain Pre-Stain/conditioners are completely unpredictable. Having gone years without using a pre-stain on soft woods, I heard from an old timer, whom I really admire, that it is a big help from causing the stain to pool and cause, as he called it, skid marks, on ur work.
However, I have found it to be unpredictable as far as trying have a consistent shade throughout a project, and it is an added step in the process.
Maybe I have yet to find a good mild pre-stain conditioner but I am about to go back to my old ways.
Thoughts??
