Minwax 786004444 Special Dark Paste Finishing Wax 1 Lb

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 786004444 is a special dark paste finishing wax formulated for use on dark wood surfaces. Applied with a cloth, it dries in 10 to 15 minutes before buffing to a finished sheen. One coat is recommended over a previously finished surface; two coats are recommended over raw wood. The wax cleans up with mineral spirits, making post-application maintenance straightforward. This product is suited for finish carpenters, furniture restorers, cabinetmakers, and flooring professionals working with dark-stained or naturally dark wood substrates.

This paste wax is intended for interior wood surfaces where a dark-toned finish is required. Typical applications include furniture, cabinetry, paneling, and wood floors finished in darker stain tones. It is packaged individually and sold by the unit, with a package quantity of four units per case. Professionals working on restoration or refinishing projects where color matching to existing dark finishes is critical will find this product a practical option.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed in a well-ventilated area, as mineral spirits-based products produce solvent vapors. Allow the wax to dry fully — 10 to 15 minutes — before buffing; buffing too early can reduce clarity and adhesion. Clean up tools and applicator cloths promptly with mineral spirits. Dispose of solvent-soaked cloths according to local hazardous material guidelines to reduce fire risk.
