Minwax Wood Finish a penetrating oil-based wood stain, providing rich beautiful color
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
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.
Easy to Apply
It’s easy to apply this wood stain – just 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. The longer you wait, the darker/richer the color.
Quick Drying
Staining wood has never been quicker with Minwax. The special formula allows it to deeply penetrate wood pores within 5 minutes of application, and it dries in two hours, making all your wood projects quick and easy.
