Minwax Wood Finish Penetrating Stain – Dark Walnut, 1/2 Pint Oil-Based (227164444)

Minwax Wood Finish is a penetrating oil‐based wood stain, which provides beautiful rich color that enhances the natural wood grain. This Dark Walnut shade delivers a deep, classic brown that adds sophistication to any interior wood project. Our innovative new formula delivers the same premium oil‐rich color as before, but in a single coat that dries in just two hours, allowing you to start and finish your project today with new faster dry time!

It applies easily, absorbs deep into the pores of the wood, and is ideal for staining unfinished wood furniture, woodwork, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and hardwood floors. Perfect for any bare or stripped wood surface, the special formula deeply penetrates wood pores within 5 minutes of application and resists lapping for an even color. To apply, just use a clean cloth or wood stain brush and apply in the direction of the grain. Wait 5-15 minutes and wipe away excess stain. The longer you wait before wiping, the darker/richer the color. While one coat often provides beautiful color, you can reapply coats for deeper color. For durable protection, wait 4-6 hours (or as directed on the can) before applying a Minwax protective clear topcoat. Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects since 1904.

Application Instructions (Summarized from Description):

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure wood is bare, dry, and free of dirt, grease, or old finishes. Sand smooth in the direction of the grain and remove all dust. For soft or porous woods, pre-treat with Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner.
2. Stir Stain: Stir Minwax Wood Finish stain thoroughly before and occasionally during use to ensure consistent color.
3. Application: Apply stain liberally with a clean cloth or wood stain brush in the direction of the wood grain.
4. Penetration: Allow the stain to penetrate the wood for 5-15 minutes.
5. Wipe Off Excess: After desired penetration time, wipe off all excess stain thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth, wiping in the direction of the wood grain.
6. Drying & Recoating (Stain): The stain typically dries in about 2 hours. If a deeper color is desired, a second coat of stain can be applied.
7. Topcoat Application: Wait 4-6 hours (or longer, as specified on the can, depending on conditions) after the final stain application and wiping before applying a protective clear topcoat like Minwax Polyurethane or Polycrylic.
