Jasco Odorless Mineral Spirits

Working on some alder and sanded up to 220. Used mineral spirts to clean off dust to prep for stain. Moving pretty quickly and when I'm done I feel the wood and &^&#(&$ - it raised the grain! What happen? Do I have to start the entire sanding process over?

I have Charles Neil's product (which is great) but I make my own that works for me and yes, conditioner will be going on before staining. Thank you Matt. Like the "smoother" thought and going with the 220. I was planning on the 220 then conditioner (2 coats) with a 220 after each. Taking wood to match a dark pecan with some black highlights in it andd worried the conditioner will not let it get there. Hoping the 220 in between and after conditioner will help accomplish this?

Good on ya for making your own wash coat. It's so easy, and heaven knows you'll need it with the alder! Alder can be fun, because you can finish it to look like a number of different woods, if you're skilled with the anti-blotching routine. :)
