Minwax qt 70012 Dark Walnut Wood Finish Penetrating Oil-Based Wood Stain

The instructions for use on the tin were covered by a hard to remove sticker in Polish. The drying time was way too long for internal staining work. Good coverage and colour achieved.

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 (;

Perfect to seal natural wood. Is a very dark shade with cool undertones.

This is a solid stain that I have been using for many years. Sure there are better quality products out there for more money but for my needs -- as a garage woodworker -- this has always fit the bill. I was trying to match a stained table top that I built many years ago however the local orange box store no longer carries this brand. Amazon had it and a similar price. Lot of color options as well these days. Solvent based so I always use outside or in a well ventilated area.
