Minwax Wood Finish Penetrating Stain, Natural 209, 1 Qt

NATURAL · 1 QT

Minwax Wood Finish is an oil-based penetrating stain that highlights the wood grain, usually in a single coat. Natural (209), from the 36-color range, adds little color of its own and mainly enriches the natural tone of the wood. It is made for interior wood, including hardwood floors; let it dry completely before applying a clear topcoat. A quart covers roughly 125–150 sq ft, a good size for a small room, stairs, trim or touch-ups.
