What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this water-based wood stain for vibrant, accurate colors that match existing woodwork beautifully. The semi-transparent finish allows natural grain to show through while adding depth and warmth. Most appreciate the smooth, easy application with brushes or rags, quick drying, and simple soap-and-water cleanup. The low odor makes it ideal for indoor projects. One or two coats typically deliver professional results. Some reviewers note the fast drying time leaves little room for blending on larger surfaces, and a few experienced uneven finishes without prompt, uniform wiping. Overall, most customers find it an excellent, reliable choice.

Wanted to stain the wood boards I had also purchased so they blended in more.

Viking helmet solution
I bought this stain to solve a very specific problem: my living room lacked a proper Viking helmet rack for emotional support and mild home defense. Naturally, I built one out of pine, and this finish turned my humble lumber into something that looks like it was salvaged from a longship. 1. Did it solve a problem or fill a need? Absolutely. Raw pine can look pale and blotchy, like it hasn’t seen sunlight since 1998. This stain evened everything out and gave the wood a warm, golden tone that mad...

Worst Stain Ever
Not recommended. Waste of money and time. Bought this planning to stain, in lieu of painting, a sewing table for my daughter. BIG MISTAKE! I’ve used minwax stains before but this was the first time using this product. I don’t think I’ve been this disappointed in a product in a long time. It does not act like stain and trying to get it to apply evenly is impossible. Maybe it’s the Texas heat but I doubt it. It not real cheap and not only am I out the cost of the stain but I used 3x the n...
Good Paint
I just happened to find this can of paint on clearance when I was desperate to find matching paint for a project I was doing. It went on so smooth and dried so fast. Great paint

Save yourself hours of rework - not recommended
I find this product unusable. The only way it can be applied without looking bad was to have one person wiping immediately (1 second) behind the person applying the stain. On a small shelf (15x24), you could not cover the shelf before it dried and left blotches. So, one person wipes on and one wipes off. You have to do no more than 6 inches width at a time which still left blotches on the overlap because it dries within seconds. Any corners or bends (like the shelf edges cannot be made ...

tint was not added
When I picked up my stain I opened the can, always open before leaving. They did not add the tint. I ordered tint. unbelievable. (one time they added color to the paint and did not mix it, just a blob of color when I opened it at home and had to go back. I always check now) This is more of a gray color and looks nothing like a acorn. Returned it.

Great indoor stain
Loved this water based stain for indoor headboard. Did not have to wait for fumes to disappear. Also appreciate that you can pick the color stain and an associate can mix it for you. It went on the wood well and clean up was easy

Great coverage
This is a great stain if you need a water based stain. I had done a paint wash on a furniture piece, and it didn’t achieve the color I wanted. This water based stain worked well, and I was able to apply it over the paint wash instead of having to sand to bare wood again.

Shipped UNTINTED
I ordered online and they sent a can of untinted base so cannot be used. On Minwax wedsite saw lots of complaints with Lowes for doing this. No one near me had this color so ordered online, not driving a long way to get it tinted. Suggest you go to a store to buy.

Avoid this product unless you know how to use it.
Hindsight, I shouldn't have bought this product. It's a water-based wood stain, and what I really wanted was a tinted polyurethane finish. Well, decided that since I got it home, might as well roll with it. I've worked with stains before, so no problem working with them again. Wrong ... this is an awful product to work with. It has the consistency of snot. It dries far too quickly. The instructions include OBVIOUS signs this product is no good. So, kind of my fault for using it -- I should h...
