Minwax 402140000 Wood Effects, Weathered Gray, 1 Quart

Very easy to apply. Used it on rough sawn cedar. Part of the project had the cedar sanded smooth and part of it had rough texture. It worked well on both surfaces and gave an overall uniformed look.The only problem was unnoticed glue spots from the assembled project. Careful removal of the spots to bare wood and reapplying the finish on only these spots allowed the finish to reach the bare wood and react to produce the correct look. This was the grey weathered wood effects

I got this stain so I could restore an old wooden wardrobe. I was looking for a very dark stain, and color was much lighter than expected after the first couple of coats. After the 4th or 5th coat I was able to get the desired darkness.I used foam brushes to apply the stain and they worked very well. They spread the stain with ease and allowed for a nice even coat.

This is the first time I have used this product. My intention was to "age" some pallet wood for an art project as shown in the photo above. I don't know for sure how this product works, but I am guessing that it is some kind of mild acid or salt solution. I used three coats and applied as directed. It goes on easily, but is the same as painting with water so be careful because you will have a lot of overflow unless you can control it by doing your project on a workbench, which I did. My "creative" idea was to make this wood look like driftwood. I decided to dust on some raw azure pigment that I had around my shop and then I finished and sealed it with diluted polyurathane. Although I did not achieve exactly the effect that I wanted, with some expermenting my project was 75% successful.

Killer stain for my barn burner Telecaster guitar build

B-E-A-UTIFUL! Two coats, no sanding... Came out better than expected.

This is some strange stuff. its like water with a tint of stain in it. The first coat is like..ok...no change. BUT as I got to the 3rd or 4th coat...it started to show the shading. Its pretty but.....its too messy and too expensive for something like this. This is like highlights. Its too much work for me. I did the trim on the cabinet doors..as you see in picture.

Unfortunately my item arrived but it was an empty can, the vendor was good at refunding my money but I found the item at a store 50 miles from my house, it’s a great product

This will only work on completely stripped wood and even then it doesn’t look good. On top of that when putting the plastic lid back on it sprayed all over the place. Why replace metal with plastic, so stupid. This product was a waste of money and time. Not going to return it because I used some of it. Do not recommend
