Minwax 117310000 Water-based Wood Finish Quart Clear

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 117310000 is a water-based, solid color interior wood stain formulated in a clear tint base and packaged in a quart container. Designed for interior wood surfaces, it delivers opaque, even color in a single coat while still allowing the natural texture of the wood to show. The formula is 5 times thicker than standard penetrating stains, which contributes to its full, one-coat coverage. Drying time is approximately one hour, and the surface can accept a Polycrylic topcoat within 2 to 3 hours. Low odor and soap-and-water cleanup make it practical for interior job sites and finished spaces.

This product is suited for residential interior woodworking applications including trim, furniture, cabinetry, and decorative wood surfaces. It is tintable to a range of custom colors, making it a flexible option when color-matching to existing interior finishes. Because it is water-based, it is appropriate for use in low-ventilation environments where solvent-based finishes would pose air quality concerns. Finishing contractors, cabinetmakers, and experienced DIYers working on interior wood projects are the primary users of this product.
