Wood Finish Penetrating Stain

Minwax Golden Pecan is a really nice, warm wood stain that brings out the natural grain without making the wood look too dark or heavy. The color leans lighter and more golden than many traditional stains, which works especially well if you want a bright, clean look that still adds richness. Application is straightforward. It goes on smoothly with either a cloth or brush and penetrates quickly. Wiping off the excess is easy, and the final color can be adjusted by how long you let it sit before wiping. Dry time is reasonable for an oil-based stain, making it practical for multi-day projects. One thing to be aware of is cleanup — since this is oil-based, it can be a pain to clean off brushes and tools. Make sure you have the proper cleaner or mineral spirits on hand before you start, especially if you’re using quality brushes you want to reuse. Overall, this is a dependable stain with consistent results and a classic finish. It’s a great option for shelves, trim, furniture, or other interior wood projects where you want warmth without overpowering the natural wood tone.

I used this on a picnic table that folds into a bench made of common treated pine boards. The boards were very rough considering. I sanded the worst by hand with 80 grit, then with a sander, 120 grit, and lightly finished with 180 grit. The stain went on immediately after. I used Minwax 70001444 Wood Finish, Golden Oak Stain, 1 Quart. The stain dried very quickly outdoors, on a breezy warm night. In less than 24 hours, without sanding, I coated it once with Polyurethane, and then went right back and double coated the top of the boards on the seats and table top. I used Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane Protective Wood Finish, Warm Satin, 1 Quart. Both products dried quickly, worked marvelously, and looks as you can see.

Great products great color. I’ve been using it for years. Was happy to see. I could buy it off of Amazon as I hate going to stores. I’m not a big shopper.

One of my favorite stains! This is by far my favorite color stain. For this table I used construction lumber Fir, sanded 80 > 120 > 220 then applied Minwax wood conditioner and Early American stain and finally 3 coats of Minwax poly following the instructions on each can. I applied using foam paint brushes the product to work perfectly as expected without blotches or light spots. For those that are unfamiliar, this stain is extremely runny - like water, so work on a piece of scrap board or art table if possible.

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.

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 (;

Es un color grisáceo muy feo y tampoco parece ser pintura de buena calidad.

Very small for price of delivery

Thanks for the fast delivery. Thanks shubham !

Loved the results, best when used with pre stain

This gave a nice oak effect when used on an Aspen wood stool. But when used on a pine table it went bright golden orange. So when used on the right wood I'm sure this is very good, just sadly not for me.
