Good stuff

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Minwax Color Wash Transparent Layering Color on a small furniture project using my Purdy XL Sprig paint brush, and it worked pretty well. The brush held the color evenly and allowed me to apply a smooth, consistent layer without streaks. The Minwax color wash went on subtly, enhancing the wood grain as expected

Beautiful for wood worked items

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will be honest I didn't personally apply this but I love the way it turned out! It has protected numerous items my man has made and it has done so beautifully!

Results really surprised me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little worried about staining over 90's oak banister, but after the first coat, I was really relieved and super happy with the results.
