Amazon Customer: I'm guilty of rush buying..this is half pint (like a can for a barbie)..enough to do a end table...for double the money had I read the volume I could have got the quart..it's not worth returning..just lesson learned..

Harry Stavrakis: I was having difficulty with uneven and blotchy color after I applied the stain. I started over, this time with the Minwax pre-stain wood conditioner applied first. Amazing difference. The stain was now even colored, and the stain color itself even looked better. The project was a success because of the wood conditioner.

Andrew L. Clark Sr: Refinishing dining room table. Strip and re-stain. This product opens the pores in the wood and creates a great base for the stain and finish coat. First time user and I’ll use it on all similar projects in the future.

Stan Watt: It's an excellent product, but just a very small mini-me tin. Otherwise, everything was smooth from purchase to painting. The vendor couldn't have has been better.

Peter Spurgeon: The product had a very hard to remove sticker in Polish covering the instructions for use, which were crucial for safety reasons. The pre stain itself worked well.
