Important information

Directions

Preparation Apply to bare/stripped wood OR already-stained wood. When starting with bare wood, make sure its clean and dry. For best results, start with a medium-grit sand paper and increase the grit as you go, finishing with #220 as final sand. Remove sanding dust. When starting with stained wood, make sure it’s clean and dry and does not he a protective topcoat finish. Application Test before staining on a hidden spot to make sure you like the color. Stir stain well before and occasionally during staining. Don’t shake or thin stain. Apply stain against the wood grain. Immediately (less than 2 minutes), remove excess stain, for best results remove by wiping against the wood grain. If happy with the color, let dry completely before applying a protective topcoat. To intensify color, recoat after 1-2 hours, repeating directions for application of first coat. Do NOT sand between coats. Not recommended for large surfaces like floors due to fast dry time. Use Minwax® Wood Finish™ Penetrating Oil Stain for large projects. Protect Finish every project with a clear protective topcoat like Minwax® Polycrylic Protective Finish.

Customers like the quality of the stain. They say it does a great job, is wonderful to work with, and is great for DIY projects. It is water-based and applied really well, making cleanup super easy. It's also a good base or top coat, and didn't leave much whitewash effect. Some customers are concerned that it's the best stain available.

Initial Review Very fast
Refinishing, Pickling the Kitchen Cabinets. Solid White Oak Cabinets needed some TLC, White Pickling was our first choice, but that means a lot of stripping, scraping the varnish, repairing, patching, and sanding. Minwax is and always been my goto product, for premixed formula.The instructions on the label did not work for my refinishing, but I did finally get the results I was looking for.Use good quality pro brushes and keep them clean and dip the brush no farther than 1/4 inch into the Minwax.In my final technique, Fig 1. After sanding, lightly damping the surface and now the surface is ready to be stained. Fig 2. applied stain evenly with the grain let dry about 60 seconds. Fig 3. Strike off with light stain water mix to give a good cover. Fig 4. Allow to dry for at least 1 hour for the stain to draw into the wood. Fig 5. Brushed on last coat with the grain allowed to dry overnight.For the topcoat I applied 1 coats of Clear Polycrylic allow drying 4 hours then 200 grit sandpaper and apply second coat, allow to dry 4 hours. I applied a total 3 coats of Polycrylic.

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2023
I used this stain to refinish a bedroom set that was very dark. After sanding down the old finish, I brushed this on and wiped off with a cotton rag just like any other stain. Very easy to use, although I didn’t follow instructions on the can. I love how the color turned out! Gave a fresh, white washed look to the beautiful furniture!
