Application Directions

• Preparation Warning
  Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local health authority.
• PREPARATION
  • Sand to obtain a smooth, uniform surface. Remove all dust with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits.
  • Apply Minwax® Wood Finish™ Stain, if desired, following the label directions. Be sure the stain has dried completely before applying the finish.
• APPLICATION
  • Wipe or brush on a generous coat of Minwax® Antique Oil Finish. Apply in the direction of the wood grain.
  • Let sit on wood for approximately 5-10 minutes, then buff evenly with a clean, lint-free cloth.
  • Wait 24 hours and apply a second coat. Two coats are recommended.
  • For additional gloss, apply another coat of Minwax® Antique Oil Finish, 24 hours from application of previous coat. With Minwax® Antique Oil Finish you can control the brightness of the finish because the surface gains more gloss with each coat you apply. Note: If buffing is difficult, recoat surface immediately and buff.
