Doing this before staining kept the stain color even. Loved it. It doesn’t add much time to the task. It only has to dry for 5-15 minutes.

I found it was good
It was easy use. Actually did make the stain go in better. Thisbwas in Ash and hard red oak. I think i would use it again.
Works well and easy to use.

Worth using before staining rough lumber
Bought this for a workbench project for my son. I used it on some older, not-great-looking wood before applying stain, and it definitely helped improve the final appearance. The wood ended up looking much better than I expected, especially considering I was using leftover stain I already had around the house.

You definitely need to apply this before staining!
I’ve never used a pre-stain before, but after my first application of stain came out looking horrible, I went on YouTube to see why. Most everyone recommended pre-staining, and it definitely makes a difference in the outcome. It went from splotchy on my first attempt to a professional-looking job on my second.
Beautiful and easy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had great results using Minwax Oil-Based Stain on my wood projects. It applies smoothly, penetrates well, and brings out the natural beauty and grain of the wood. I like that it offers rich, consistent color and gives projects a professional look when applied correctly. I typically finish my pieces with a beautiful clear coat, and the final result always looks clean, durable, and high-end. Overall, Minwax Oil-Based Stain has been a dependa...

Just buy it and use it.
Unbelievable. This is the first time I’ve used pre stain before and wow what a difference it makes. I’ve done plenty of wood work before but never thought it was necessary to use this. Everything comes out even.
