1 / Prep

The better the wood prep, the better the final result. Minwax Preparation products are the first step to ensure your wood surfaces show their most beautiful colors and smoothest finishes. Start with Minwax Pre-Stain to prevent streaks and blotches by penetrating the wood to promote uniform acceptance of oil-based stains and helps control the effects of grain raise.

2 / Stain

Apply Minwax Wood Finish stain to bare wood surfaces following label directions. Surface must be dry and free of wax, grease, polish, any foreign matter or old finishes in poor condition. Sand to a smooth, uniform surface and remove dust. Use a clean cloth, wood stain brush or foam applicator and apply in the direction of the grain. Wait 5-15 minutes and wipe away in the direction of the grain. Let dry completely.

3 / Protect

Stir well before and regularly during use. Do not shake. Apply a thin coat of Minwax Polyurethane Protective Finish. Apply in one direction with the grain. Do not over-brush. Let dry at least 2 hours then sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats. Remove all dust.

Minwax classic gray stain on red oak

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2018

No review, just pictures of the finish on cheap framing lumber (2x6) so you can see the pattern. The coffee table has two coats and the small bench only has one. Both were sanded with 220 grit prior to staining and applied with a microfiber cloth. The color for this is dark walnut and applied in 40 degree weather in the Northeast, USA. Lastly, these photos were taken the next morning and did appear darker from when I stopped (approx 12 hours)Hope this helps!

Beautiful color, but you have to get the pigment off of the bottom to use it effectively. Had to pour out all of the liquid, then stir and add pigment. You can’t mix it just by shaking or stirring.

Thi contains quite a bit of red in it so use caution if you dont like alot of red. I dont like alot of red at all. Otherwise I like using Minwax.

Minwax stains are excellent. I have used them for years in many projects - large and small. I bought this stain to repair a damage on a serving tray. The "weathered" look was a very good match to the existing finish on the tray. I was able to blend the damaged area into the rest of the tray and it looks great. I did not add a top coat of varnish because I feel the coat of wax I applied will be sufficient for this tray.

I had previously used Minwax Red Mahogany which was a lovely reddish hue. This batch was dark brown. I used it anyway and it was fine but not the color I planned.

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2022

I included before and after pictures because it really is a beautiful color! It took my 50 year old bedside tables from looking worn and scratched to a beautiful espresso color! I only give it 4 stars and not 5 because it has take over a week to dry (even tho it is advertised as 3 hours) I do live in a more humid climate but this was indoors, with multiple fans blowing in the room. I would recommend this product though just not if you are in a hurry!

Not the item i meant to order. I wanted a gel stain for the project i was working on, but I will use this in my shop later. Minwax are good products.

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2022

This is the same thing/quality that I get at Home Depot but I don't have to hassle with going all the way across town and going in and it's the same price. I also really appreciated that it was packaged so nothing would spill, should it accidentally come open. I've ordered several times and never had an issue but I'm grateful that it's sealed, just in case. Came really quickly too.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2020

This gave a nice oak effect when used on an Aspen wood stool. But when used on a pine table it went bright golden orange. So when used on the right wood I'm sure this is very good, just sadly not for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Long drying time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2020

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.

Can red oak be stained any color?

Can We Stain or Seal Red Oak And Remove The Pink? You can stain red oak floors to get a beautiful light and beige color that's all the rage right now (white oak is the new popular kid on the block)… but not without going through some headache! Red oak just doesn't take as well to lighter colors as white oak does.

Can red oak be stained GREY?

Be careful with the wood species. Gray stained floors tend to turn out best on white oak flooring. Red oak has underlying red tones, and often a darker gray is needed to achieve the desired look. Stain can turn out blotchy on maple floors as these are close pored species (this blotchiness occurs with all stain colors).

What colors go with red oak stain?

For paint colors that go with red oak floors, consider hues that bring out the floor undertones. Dark and cool blue and green tones are excellent for enhancing the look of red flooring. Consider colors and shades such as: Pastels.
