Minwax Wood Finish Penetrating Stain – Red Oak, 1/2 Pint Oil-Based (221504444)

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 Red Oak shade offers a classic light to medium color with warm red undertones, a great choice for a wide variety of woods and interior projects like unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and floors. It 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 and 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 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 and remove all dust. Consider Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner for soft/porous woods.
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: 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.
