You can double stain. The wood will look darker and the marks that you want to stain out will be a shade lighter. What you can do is stain the marks only with a slightly diluted stain (add turps). The surrounding area may become a little patchy. You have to decide what looks worse the patchy area or the marked area. Always test on a scrap sample of wood. In my experience, if the marks are really noticeable they will look worse than a bit of patchiness. Once you put Estapol on it the marks show up more than the patchiness anyway. Hope this helps
