Every piece of wood reacts differently, so every project is unique. Review: Works very well but watch carefully for any glue spots from your project assembly - Very easy to apply. Used it on rough sawn cedar. Part of the project had the cedar sanded smooth and part of it had rough texture. It worked well on both surfaces and gave an overall uniformed look. The only problem was unnoticed glue spots from the assembled project. Careful removal of the spots to bare wood and reapplying the finish on only these spots allowed the finish to reach the bare wood and react to produce the correct look. This was the grey weathered wood effects Review: Nice! - Nice finish! ## Features - Accelerated the look of naturally aged wood - Just brush on bare wood - Unique results every time ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B086FBKHJL | | Base Material | Wood-based | | Best Sellers Rank | #147,290 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #262 in Household Stains | | Brand | Minwax | | Brand Name | Minwax | | Coating Description | One Coat color.

Try it on a scrap piece of wood. You can put a little on a rag and spread it with the grain over a larger area and then add more if needed. **Q: Can this be used on laminate counter tops?** A: It is a wood stain and I used it on wood. I do not know if it would work well to stain laminant. There may be some food safety issues. My countertops get a lot of wear and it may stay on very long. **Q: Can this be used with a semi transparent stain? If so which should be applied first?** A: It is already stain. I do not know what would happen if you put transparent stain on top. You could try it on a scrap piece of wood. I did apply a layer of clear polyurethane on top. **Q: Is this somewhat transparent, letting the woods natural grain show through? ...or is it more like black paint?** A: it is transparent for the most part. the more you layer it on, the darker it gets. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works very well but watch carefully for any glue spots from your project assembly *by L***R on October 7, 2023* Very easy to apply.

My intention was to "age" some pallet wood for an art project as shown in the photo above. I don't know for sure how this product works, but I am guessing that it is some kind of mild acid or salt solution. I used three coats and applied as directed. It goes on easily, but is the same as painting with water so be careful because you will have a lot of overflow unless you can control it by doing your project on a workbench, which I did. My "creative" idea was to make this wood look like driftwood. I decided to dust on some raw azure pigment that I had around my shop and then I finished and sealed it with diluted polyurathane. Although I did not achieve exactly the effect that I wanted, with some expermenting my project was 75% successful. ## Frequently Bought Together - Minwax 402140000 Wood Effects, Weathered Gray, 1 Quart - Minwax 618604444 Color Wash Transparent Layering Color, White Wash, 1 Quart - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/203033789-minwax-402140000-wood-effects-weathered-gray-1-quart](https://www.desertcart.us/products/203033789-minwax-402140000-wood-effects-weathered-gray-1-quart) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
