Minwax Wood Finish Penetrating Stain – Ipswich Pine, 1/2 Pint Oil-Based (222104444)

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 Ipswich Pine shade offers a light, warm, and inviting pine color, perfect for adding a touch of rustic charm or a classic light wood look to your interior projects.

Ideal for staining unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and even floors, this stain can work 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 an even color, and dries in as little as two hours (for stain recoat if desired). To apply, just use a clean cloth or wood stain brush and apply in the direction of the grain. Wait 5-15 minutes, then wipe away excess stain. The longer you wait before wiping, the darker and richer the color will become. You can reapply coats for deeper color. For long-lasting durability, always 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 like pine, pre-treat with Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner to help ensure even stain absorption.
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 after 2-4 hours (time dependent on color).
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.
