Minwax 71041 Wood Finish Gallon Golden Pecan

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 71041 is a penetrating oil-based wood finish available in a Golden Pecan color tone. This product is formulated to enhance and protect bare wood surfaces by penetrating the wood grain to deliver color and a degree of surface protection in a single application. It is used on interior wood surfaces including furniture, cabinetry, doors, and trim. Finishing contractors, cabinet installers, and skilled woodworking tradespeople are the primary installers of this type of product. The 71041 is packaged in a one-gallon container, weighing 16 pounds, making it practical for larger project runs where a quart would be insufficient.

This wood finish is suited for interior residential and light commercial applications where a warm, mid-tone brown color is desired on raw or stripped wood. Golden Pecan is a traditional stain tone that works well on hardwoods such as oak and maple as well as softwood surfaces. It is appropriate for use on floors, built-ins, millwork, and furniture refinishing projects. Note that this item may be VOC restricted in certain areas. Verify local VOC compliance requirements before purchasing or applying in regulated regions.

Application is typically performed by finishing contractors or experienced woodworkers using natural-bristle brushes, foam applicators, or lint-free rags. Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of previous finish, wax, or contaminants before application.
