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™ 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.
•Remove excess stain with a clean cloth. Wipe in the direction of
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.

a minimum of 8 hours, apply a clear, protective finish such as Minwax®
