Minwax Wood Finish Penetrating Stain – Golden Oak, 1/2 Pint Oil-Based (221024444)

Quickly and easily give your wood projects a beautiful, rich color with Minwax Wood Finish. This oil-based wood stain deeply penetrates the wood fibers to enhance the natural wood grain in just one coat, providing beautiful, even color. The Golden Oak shade offers a classic, rich light oak color, perfect for a wide variety of interior wood projects such as unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and even floors. It can be used on any bare or stripped wood surface.

The special formula allows it to deeply penetrate wood pores within 5 minutes of application, resists lapping for consistent results, and dries in as little as two hours, making it possible to stain wood and prepare for a topcoat in just one day (allow 4-6 hours before topcoat application). Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects, inspiring consumers since 1904.

Application Instructions:

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.
3. Application: Apply stain liberally with a clean cloth or wood stain brush in the direction of the wood grain.
4. Penetration & Excess Removal: Allow the stain to penetrate the wood for 5-15 minutes. The longer you wait (within this window), the darker and richer the color will become.
5. Wipe Off Excess: After the 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, you can reapply another coat of stain following steps 3-5.
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.
