Yes, if it's a gel stain. However, if it's a penetrating stain it will not dry correctly. If you try to clean it, it will smear. If you put a clear topcoat on it, the topcoat will smear the excess stain.
Heating the smear flooded with carbol fuchsin stain helps in the penetration of the stain into the bacterial cell wall by softening the cell wall and making it more permeable. This process is important for the retention of the stain during the subsequent decolorization step in the staining process.
Smear
Covering the smear with bibulous paper during the endospore stain process helps to wick away excess stain and prevent the slide from drying out. This ensures that the endospores are properly stained and the background is clear for observation under the microscope.
Wright's stain
smear should be rinsed with distill water so that all the small particles attach to the smear will washed away such as some time the crystals of dye are attached to the smear which give the illusion of microbial cell some time, distill water is used because it is free from other microbial cell and ions which can harm the smear.
As a verb, words for blur are, smudge, fog, dim, smear. As a noun, words for blur are, blot, stain, smear, smudge, smirch, blotch.
For a seamless finish, apply the stain before assembling the furniture.
the purpose of boiling of smear in malachite green is to forces a stain to penetrate the endospore wall, it is necessary to heat the slide and the stain to prod the wall to allow the stain to enter.
If the bacterial cell are under stained then they will loose the stain of dye when wash with alocohol or may be simply by water which then cause a problem in identifying the cell type as e.g. in case of gram staining if the cell do not stain properly with methylene blue then they will loose the stain when washed and will counter stain with saffranin so the gram +ve will show the gram -ve colour.
To achieve a darker stain on wood, you can apply multiple coats of the stain, let each coat dry completely before applying the next one, and use a darker shade of stain. Additionally, you can leave the stain on for a longer period of time before wiping it off to deepen the color.
Leaving a stain on too long generally stains everything; leaving little contrast. Leaving a stain on not long enough doesn't stain enough; leaving little contrast.
