Minwax Wood Finish a penetrating oil-based wood stain, providing rich beautiful color

1 / Prep

2 / Stain

3 / Protect

1 / Prep

The better the wood prep, the better the final result. Minwax Preparation products are the first step to ensure your wood surfaces show their most beautiful colors and smoothest finishes. Start with Minwax Pre-Stain to prevent streaks and blotches by penetrating the wood to promote uniform acceptance of oil-based stains and helps control the effects of grain raise.

2 / Stain

Apply Minwax Wood Finish stain to bare wood surfaces following label directions. Surface must be dry and free of wax, grease, polish, any foreign matter or old finishes in poor condition. Sand to a smooth, uniform surface and remove dust. Use a clean cloth, wood stain brush or foam applicator and apply in the direction of the grain. Wait 5-15 minutes and wipe away in the direction of the grain. Let dry completely.

3 / Protect

Stir well before and regularly during use. Do not shake. Apply a thin coat of Minwax Polyurethane Protective Finish. Apply in one direction with the grain. Do not over-brush. Let dry at least 2 hours then sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats. Remove all dust.

Rich Color

Easy to Apply

Quick Drying

Rich Color

Minwax Wood Finish is a deep penetrating, oil-based wood stain that provides beautiful rich color and enhances the natural wood grain in one coat. It’s perfect for interior staining projects such as wood furniture, cabinets, doors and more.

Product Description

Minwax Wood Finish is a penetrating oil-based wood stain, which provides beautiful rich color that enhances the natural wood grain. It applies easily and penetrates deep into the pores of the wood. Ideal for staining unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, wood door, trim, molding and hardwood floors. Size: 1 Quart Color: Espresso (273) Applies easily and penetrates deep into the pores of the wood Can be used to add beauty to any bare or stripped wood surface It is ideal for staining unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, wood door, trim, molding and hardwood floors. Specifications: Application Tool: Natural bristle brush, cloth or foam applicator Location: Interior wood surfaces Recoat: 4-6 hours Dry Time: 8 hours Cleanup: Mineral spirits Coverage: 150 sq. ft. per quart Coats: 1 coat. To darken the color, apply a second coat after 4-6 hours. Recommended Uses: Unfinished wood furniture, woodwork, doors, hardwood floors, cabinets, accessories. FAQ's: How long should I leave Minwax Wood Finish on the wood? Allow the stain to penetrate 5 to 15 minutes. The longer the stain is left on the wood, the deeper it will penetrate. For a light tint, just wipe the excess stain off after a few minutes; for deeper, richer color, wait as long as 15 minutes. Why is it important to wipe off the excess stain? The colorants in Minwax Wood Finish are designed to be deposited in the wood pores, not on the surface of the wood. Any pigments allowed to remain on top of the wood will impair topcoat adhesion causing the finish to peel. Is it necessary to sand after the Minwax Wood Finish has dried? No. In fact, we advise against it. Sanding will result in the removal of some of the dyes and pigments in the stained wood. Since Minwax Wood Finish does not raise the grain, no sanding is necessary before adding the clear protective finish. Can Minwax Wood Finish

Completely transformed my table!
First time using stain. I posted a before and after to see the difference. I used 2 coats of dark walnut with 3 coats of polyurethane on top! I absolutely love my “new” table. This was my mom’s table I got 11yrs ago when she passed. Now I will have it for many, many more years to come!I still have 6 chairs to do my I bought a quart and it goes a long way. I have so much left and I will have a ton left after the chairs.
