Review: A Must-Have for Oil Stains and Cost Savings - Allow me to share my experience with wood conditioner and dispel a common misconception. Despite my dad's claim that wood conditioner is unnecessary, I can confidently say he was completely incorrect. In fact, wood conditioner has proven to be an indispensable tool, particularly when dealing with oil stains, and it offers significant cost savings in the long run. Wood conditioner is a game-changer when it comes to treating oil stains on wood surfaces. It penetrates deeply into the wood, creating a protective barrier that prevents the oil from seeping in and causing unsightly stains. By applying the conditioner before staining, the wood surface becomes more receptive to the stain, resulting in a smoother and more even application. The end result is a flawless finish that truly showcases the beauty of the wood. Furthermore, using wood conditioner can save you money on stain in the long term. By pre-treating the wood surface with conditioner, it reduces the amount of stain required for full coverage. The conditioner helps the wood absorb the stain more efficiently, ensuring that every drop of stain goes a long way. This not only stretches your stain supply but also minimizes wastage and additional expenses. In addition to its stain-saving benefits, wood conditioner also enhances the overall durability and longevity of the wood. It nourishes the fibers, moisturizes the surface, and helps prevent cracking, warping, and other forms of damage. By keeping the wood in optimal condition, you'll save money on repairs and replacements down the line. I can confidently assert that wood conditioner is far from being for "chumps." It is an essential tool for anyone looking to achieve professional-level results while tackling oil stains. Its ability to save money on stain, enhance durability, and ensure a flawless finish makes it a must-have in any woodworking or refinishing project. So, don't be swayed by misconceptions—embrace the power of wood conditioner and witness the transformative effects it has on your wood surfaces. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Review: A Must-Have for Perfect Wood Staining Every Time - For years, I never used a wood conditioner before staining—and honestly, I thought it was optional.

It smooths out uneven absorption, prevents blotching, and gives a beautifully uniform, professional-looking finish. Applying it is easy, it dries quickly, and it truly lets the natural beauty of the wood shine through once stained. I’m so glad I started using this—it has completely elevated the quality of my woodworking projects. Highly recommended for any woodworker, beginner or experienced! Do a comparison on your next project and I believe you will become a fan of it too!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it water based**
A: No. My experience is that water-based stains/prestains don't work as well as oil-based products since the water causes the wood fiber to swell up and resist penetration of the material being applied.  Also, don't intermix use of an oil-based prestain with a water-based stain or, for that matter, water and oil-based stains and poly finish coats. Personally I like this product; I use it with Minwax oil-stains and Minwax oil-based wipe-on satin poly finish.

**Q: Has anyone used this on Cherry wood? I also wanted to know if this would make a difference before I stain Cherry wood?**
A: I used this on cherry when applying a black cherry stain. In general, pre-stain makes the actual stain lighter. With the black cherry stain and no pre-stain it made the wood appear too dark and very purple. When applying the pre-stain It worked perfectly for what I was trying to achieve. I was able to match an antique dark cherry dresser almost perfectly.

Always test with a scrap piece with and without the pre-stain but it works on all wood types.

**Q: how does pre stain work?**
A: This is what MinWax says: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 to condition wood before staining new, bare softwood or porous surfaces.From my experience, it makes any stain look better. The darker the stain, the more you need a Pre-Stain. Some people call their product a "wood conditioner" and some call it a "pre-stain". But I believe they basically do the same thing. What the pre-stain does is fill in the soft part of the wood. The softer parts of the wood are more porous and they will absorb more of the pre-stain. So when you put on the stain, the softer more porous parts of the wood are already filled and they will not absorb as much stain. So the look is much better. This makes the stains go on more evenly. Important Note: I first apply the pre-stain in generous amounts. And then I quickly apply the stain. Do not let the pre-stain dry. Apply the stain immediately over the moist pre-stain. Also please note that there are water based and oil based pre-stains / wood conditioners and stains. If you use a water based pre-stain / wood conditioner and then apply a water based stain, I have noticed that is like not using the pre-stain. Since they are both water based, the water based stain will mix in with the pre-stain and acts almost like you did not use the pre-stain. Even worse is then try applying a water based top coat. You will have a mess on your hands. Especially if using a brush. Plus the water base stuff will definitely raise the grain on the wood. Instead I first apply an oil based pre-stain or wood conditioner and then I apply a water based stain. Sounds crazy but I have the best of luck with that combination. The reason this works so well is because oil and water do not mix and so the stain will not mix with the pre-stain. And that is what I want. I can rub the water based stain as much as I want and feel I have more control over the tone or shade of the stain. But before I apply a top coat of polyurethane, I wait 3 or 4 hours - enough time to allow the oil base pre-stain to evaporate. If I do not wait, then I will see air bubbles in the top coat from the oil based pre-stain trying to evaporate. So I just wait a few hours and then I can seal the project with my top coat. I spray on a water based polyuerethane for the top coat and get a nice even finish. That is what works for me. I always use an oil based pre-stain or wood conditioner. Next I immediately rub on a water base stain. Wait 3 hours. Spray on a water based top coat of polyurethane. Works beautiful every time.

**Q: Should I use this on pine wood before I stain?**
A: I would, it will help prevent blotchy areas.   Soaks right in, I have had good luck with it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes stain work so much better on soft wood
*by B***2 on January 23, 2026*

I'm replacing the carpet in my living room with 100% pine flooring. I have to sand, stain and finish each plank. The pre-stain keeps the stain from being absorbed more by the softer parts of the boards than the grain. This is called gain reversal and it makes the wood look strange. The pre-stain goes on just like stain using a clean cloth. It does add a little bit of amber color to the wood, but once you start applying stain, it doeesn't really change the color much.
