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.

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024

It's more charcoal grey than black, but I knew this going in and prepped my piece with two coats of block-printing ink diluted with water (you can also use india ink). Two coats of true black stain on top of that resulted in about as jet-black a stain as I could ever hope to accomplish. Looks like shoe polish (hey, that gives me an idea!)

I have used this stain a number of time in the past and like the color. I ordered some polyurethane so figured instead of driving to the store I would order it here. Came the next day so that was a good decision. Only thing I did not like was how Amazon packaged it. One bubble and nothing to protect it should it get dropped. But it did come in great condition, would always recommend opening this type of product in a safe location just to be safe.
