Minwax®
Wood Finish™ is an oil-based wood stain that provides long-lasting
wood tone color. It penetrates deep into the pores to seal and protect
the wood. Minwax® Wood Finish™ is available in 22 wood tone
colors and can be used to enhance any bare or stripped wood surface. It
is ideal for staining furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and hardwood
floors.
DIRECTIONS:
SURFACE
PREPARATION:
•Sand
the wood in the direction of the grain, first using medium grade sandpaper
(#120) and working your way to fine-grade (#220). Remove all sanding dust
before staining.
•Pre-treat soft or porous woods such as pine, maple, alder and birch
with Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner. This will help the wood evenly
absorb stain color. Apply stain within two hours of pre-treatment.
PRODUCT
PREPARATION & COLOR TESTING:
•Stir stain thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
• Test stain on a hidden area to verify desired color.
• To lighten any color, add Minwax® Wood Finish™ 209 Natural
to the mixture.
STAIN
APPLICATION:
•Apply Wood Finish™ in the direction of the grain with a brush
or clean cloth.
• Let the stain penetrate 5 -15 minutes to ensure you achieve the
desired color.

the grain, while blending light and dark areas to obtain uniform color.
•To Darken color, apply a second coat after 4-6 hours, repeating
application directions of first coat.

or inadequate ventilation.
