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 enhances the natural wood grain in just one coat and resists lapping for an even color. It’s perfect for interior wood projects such as unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and floors, and can work on any bare or stripped wood surface. The Golden Oak shade offers a classic wood stain color, providing a beautiful, rich light oak appearance that is great for a wide variety of projects.

The special formula allows it to deeply penetrate wood pores within 5 minutes of application, and it dries in as little as two hours, making it possible to stain wood in just one day. 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, the darker/richer the color. Reapply coats for deeper color. Wait 4-6 hours before applying a wood sealer topcoat. Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects. Since 1904, we have been inspiring consumers to Keep on Finishing.
