Minwax 1019702 0.5 Pint Stain & Polyurethane Polyshade, Gloss Vintage Blue

I bought the dark walnut gloss to finish a dining room table. This project was not without mistakes. Thank goodness I came back to the website here to find out that you do NOT wipe the stain off with the polyshades! Ugh... I wasted a LOT of time and even did an ebony stain in between from a different company because it wasn't getting darker. The website instructions were very helpful and saved my project. I did end up with dust "nibs" that I sanded down with a brown paper bag and it still kept the gloss finish. The instructions need to be more clear on the can! But I am SO happy with the end result! Learned a lot!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top piece was before. Goes on easy. I used an old rag to rub on. I prefer a rag to paint brush because it is easier to apply. I used two coats in the pictures. The stain brings out the grains in the wood. I like this stain a lot and plan to use it for other projects.
