Great coverage

This black stain from minwax is easy to apply. It goes on evenly and provides thotough coverage. It is amazing how dark the finished color is.

Recycled wood to bench finished with quality stain

Would Recommend

It goes on even & leaves a smooth finish if put on right. Solid color pallet. Really solid coverage. Get a lot of compliments on our new wooden bench made of recycled pallets. Beats seeing pallets ground up or stacked up on corners over the city for people to burn as fire wood. Better recycled then dumping into land fills more companies need to do this.
