What is pre-stain?

Some companies call it wood conditioner, sanding sealer and the like. It helps seal the more porous woods ( pine for ex. ) to help it blotching when you apply the stain. Makes the stain appear more even over the project. If I remember right, MinWax has some good info on their website, been a good while since I was up there.

Almost definitely box elder. Try sanding to 120 grit then apply a coat of sanding sealer. It's a clear lacquer that helps seal porous wood. Then sand with 180 and 220 grit. Then apply your rattle can finish. Just follow the directions on the can of sanding sealer. 

Pre-stain is different and won't work as well.
