Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner penetrates the grain of the wood to promote uniform acceptance of wood stain. Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner helps prevent streaking and blotching to help ensure a beautiful, even stain. It is specifically designed for use before staining new or bare softwood surfaces.
DIRECTIONS: 1. Apply before staining on clean, raw wood, using a brush or cloth. 2. Allow to penetrate for 5 to 15 minutes, then remove excess with clean, dry cloth. 3. The stain should be applied within two hours of application of Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner. For best results, stain with Minwax® Wood Finish™, Minwax® Gel Stain, Minwax® PolyShades®. Coverage: Approximately 100 - 125 square feet per quart. Cleanup: Mineral spirits or paint thinner, following manufacturer's safety instructions. Note: Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner is not recommended for use with water-based stains.
