Norton Thick Line Buffing Red Pad

I applied Cherry mixed with Early American,80/20, on red ­oak, for face frames and doors on cabinets. Applied with ­foam brush. Wiped off with 2 paper towels in direction of ­grain after 10 minutes. Allowed to dry completely for 18 ­hours. Not necessary to apply heavy coat. Just apply product ­in direction of grain and work into wood. Followed up with ­Cherry, 100 percent. Because I wanted a rich mahogany color, ­I did not wipe stain off. I let dry over night. The results ­were wonderful! I finished using satin polyurethane...

My family has always trusted Minwax when it comes to ­staining wood floors and just about everything else thats ­wood and need stain. I remember as small child my dad mixing ­and stirring the Minwax stain before staining the hardwood ­floors he just installed in the living room. They came out ­absolutely fabulous. Even years later everyone remarked how ­great the floor looked. You must use a Polyurethane or top ­coat over a stain product that doesnt have a finishing ­component in it. I suggest that you use a Minwax stain and ­then a top coat for the best results. Sure its more work and ­more expensive but its well worth it...

Minwax wood stain...This is something my family has used for ­years. My grandmother used this on high traffic areas on her ­wood floors. Then when she passed away I purchased her house ­& removed all the carpet to reveal the wood floors. So I ­go to the store to buy my MinWax all was going great until I ­got to my bedroom I bought too dark of stain & I was ­getting tired & did not even pay attention & began ­put this on, so it was buyers remorse my fault. So my ­bedroom is stained in a different color & I did not want ­to sand down the floor & re-stain it, I just left it the ­way it was. MinWax does last along time on your wood floors ­if put on properly. We also used a lot of MinWax on various ­4-H projects for the kids, from staining wood boards for the ­kids rocket stands, to back board for display items, to ­furniture they made & much more. You can even use Minwax ­to shine up furniture that may of lost their gloss as they ­do have various color coordination\'s. So from my family to ­yours this is a great product & would highly recommend ­this to anyone. It is simple to use also, you can brush it ­on or apply it with a soft rag & it will come out evenly ­if used appropriately...

Minwax has been on the shelves of hardware stores for years. ­I remember seeing this brand\'s yellow cans stocked on ­shelves of the local hardware store - since I was 5 years ­old, and my pops would take me shopping with him. I recently ­remodeled a room in our house and made a set of wooden ­cabinets built into the room. I already knew what to stain ­to buy. Minwax. Definitely. All it took was one coat of ­Minwax stain to penetrate the wood and make it look ­beautiful. No problems, and never had any with their ­products. Whatever your project, if you need to stain wood, ­don\'t go with another brand. Definite Must Buy!..

I spent one hellish summer working for a hole-in-the-wall ­hardwood floor company in Florida (anyone familiar with the ­Miami knows it’s no place to spend a summer, especially ­cooped up in a house with all the doors and windows wide ­open—and the air conditioner turned off—so that we would ­not all gag and die from breathing wood dust and ­turpentine). The owner of this company—a man who called me ­a BOY for insisting to wear a filter mask over my mouth and ­nose while sanding floors, likely dead for decades now from ­one pulmonary ailment or another—was one of the cheapest ­men I have ever known. Therefore, he settled on lesser ­quality products, such as floor stain. As a result, the ­company received many complaints for shoddy work. Not ­surprisingly, they’ve been out of business for quite some ­time. When it comes to staining my own furniture, I ­always choose Minwax. It doesn’t streak, dries quickly and ­lends realistic tones to inferior woods, such as pine. And a ­single can goes a long way. In fact, I think I’ve been ­using the same can since I was in my twenties, which must be ­several millennia by now...
