Minwax 400140000 Color Wash Stain Quart Weathered Gray

Product Description

The Minwax 400140000 is a transparent interior wood stain formulated to add soft, subtle color to bare wood surfaces or layer over previously stained wood. Sold in a quart size, this Weathered Gray colorway delivers a translucent tint that allows natural wood grain to remain visible. The water-based formula dries in approximately 2 hours, making it practical for multi-step finishing schedules. Low odor and soap-and-water cleanup make it suitable for interior job sites where ventilation may be limited. Finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and general contractors typically apply this product during interior millwork and furniture finishing work.

This stain is intended for interior wood surfaces only. Typical applications include bare hardwood and softwood trim, cabinetry, furniture, paneling, and decorative wood accents. The transparent Weathered Gray tone works well when a light, washed appearance is desired without fully concealing the wood's natural character. Layering over existing stains allows for tone adjustments on previously finished surfaces without full strip-and-refinish work.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by a finish carpenter, painter, or qualified contractor following the stain manufacturer's surface preparation guidelines. Sand and clean the wood surface thoroughly before application to ensure proper adhesion and even color. Work in a well-ventilated interior space even with low-odor formulas, and keep the product away from open flames during application and drying. Allow full dry time between coats before applying a topcoat or sealer.
