        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.
