We have had excellent results
Several months ago we purchased an 80 year old cottage that has a goodly amount of the original 1 1/4 inch hardwood flooring. We have "touched" almost ever. square foot of the floors, ceilings and walls. One evening we rolled a good coat of this polyurethane over the hardwood then got in the van and drove the 800 miles back home. When we returned 10 days later we were greeted by some of the most beautiful floors you will ever see. The surface is hard, smooth and squeaky clean as can be. Next is...

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...

Stain doesn't dry; project is ruined.
First thing's first: let's talk about the stripe of woodgrain shown on the label of this product. It would be intuitive for this to show the approximate color of the stain in question; I get that the color of the wood itself will change it a bit so an exact match isn't really possible...on the other hand the labels for the various colors looked like the same color to me, but with a different wood grain pattern. Are they all the same mid-tone brown? Because the "red mahogany" stain I bought is...

Guitar Sunburst Finish Repair with an Air Brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I repair damaged guitars for friends, and often need to fix or replace a sunburst color gradient around the edge of a guitar top. This requires me to match the lightest color in the center, and cause it to get gradually darker, until it matches the darkest color at the outside edge of the top. Minwax Wood Finish is perfect for this task. Perfect because it comes in a wide range of colors, and ALL of them can be mixed together without any...

Way too grey
The brand is good but this is a grey wash & didn’t have any other tones in the stain. Our test pieces didn’t come out like the photo at all.

Thank you for your review. Since each type of wood can take the stain differently, we do recommend a test area first to ensure satisfactory results....

2 cans-Same color -2 Different colors on Wood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a quart can Ipswich Pine 221. Loved the color for my handmade bar piece for my new home build in my kitchen. Bought a gallon of the same color to stain 8 new Solid Wood doors for my new home and wanted them the same color as the bar piece. Did 3 of the doors and brought one into the house...Boy is the color not the same. Very disappointed and now have 3 ruined doors that cost too much to throw out. Not sure what to do with them now. Ju...

So easy with professional results
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a handyman and I was hired to sand and stain ceiling beams and new windows in a home remodel. The homeowners spent a lot of money on the renovations including the exposed beams and hand crafted wood windows. After I lovingly hand sanded each window and beam, I applied minwax wood finish and it went on so smoothly with a foam applicator and then, after about 20 minutes, I wiped off any excess. The wood looked so beautiful. The homeowners ...

Aged Barrel stain looks great
Built a box beam mantel from common pine. Used wood conditioner ( do not skip that step) then applied the aged barrel with a heavy coat. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, then wiped off. Finished with a couple coats of spray lacquer. Came out great and has the dark old wood look.
