Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner prepares bare wood for staining. It penetrates the grain of the wood to promote uniform acceptance of oil-based stains. Softwoods are notorious for turning blotchy when stained, but hardwoods such as maple, alder and aspen can be troublesome as well. Play it safe and apply a coat of Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner to any wood you are about to stain. Apply a second coat to the large, open pores at the ends of the boards to prevent them from turning darker than the rest of your project.
