Review: Good Results ! - I’ve got good results in staining my brand new pine wood door. I followed Minwax recommendations exactly: pre-stain, stain, and top-coat. I paid attention to the stirring, sanding and timing instructions at each stage. I used three very high quality sponge applicators, one for each stage of the process. The net result was a very good looking stain and a hard protective coating, and nothing oily, sticky, or smelly. I wanted to use oil base (instead of water base) for my glass and pine bathroom door because oil repels water (and humidity), and I wanted to prevent any warping of the door, even one millimeter. I highly recommend this product.
Review: Dark Walnut Stain love it! - LOVE this stain! Matches the color as advertised, I was staining my cats outside perch from a cheap looking wood to a more expensive looking dark color. LOVEEE how it turned out! Very tedious but worth it. It was my first time diy w stain so I was a bit nervous. I used a 200 grit sander sanded well on both sides and edges, felt smooth. Applied Wood conditioner let it sit 18 mins. Applied the Dark Walnut stain color for an hour and a half came out PERFECT I love it. Had to wait a bit longer since it was such a light wood color but I’m super happy with how it turned out. Hope this helps someone! ( I put plastic covering underneath the t shirts don’t worry guyz (;

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The can says weathered oak but it is grey on the inside. Will the color change to oak once it drys**
A: When oak weathers.... it turns grey.

**Q: Do I need to apply a seal on top of the stain?**
A: Never got that far with the pint of Stain that
I received . The stain had no Brown in it for 
a Fruitwood color.  
But I would have applied a good sealer, like
Varnish or Polyurethane.

**Q: What are the steps? I’m no expert but I’m gonna try to make a coffee table. Sand, stain, then polyurethane?**
A: Sand only if needed first.  Stain the wood in one direction only and in the direction of the grain.  The directions will be on the can.  You can wipe up the excess stain with an old towel.  If you want a second coat, wait until it's dry.   Then, when it's perfectly dry, put the polyurethane or varnish (your choice) on it.  If you want a second coat of that, you can lightly sand the wood with 220 sand paper, wipe away the dust and then apply the second coat of the varnish or whatever you used.  There's gloss, matte and satin finishes.  All are nice.  It's easy.  It really is.  Have fun!  Again, the directions are on the can and easy to understand.  Oh, and wear rubber gloves!  The stain is hard to get off the skin!

**Q: would i need paint brushes or would rubbing it in with a rag work im planing on doing a diy guitar finish with it**
A: A clean cloth / rag works just the same as a foam brush and is cheaper.  You can buy tee-shirt trimmings from most stores for this purpose.   Another clean piece can be used for cleanup / wiping down the final finish to avoid excess soaking in.   I avoid paper towels on anything but a test piece since the paper towel tends to shed residue into the finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enhances Natural Grain Without Changing Wood Color
*by M***E on January 6, 2026*

I like this product almost as much as Minwax pre-stain wood conditioner. In many ways, it serves a similar purpose by enhancing and evening out the natural grain rather than dramatically changing the wood’s color. It’s an excellent choice when you want the wood to look natural, clean, and finished while still showcasing the character of the grain. I use it when I want a subtle, understated finish that lets the wood speak for itself instead of overpowering it. Great product for anyone who prefers a natural wood appearance over darker stains.
