Is this a clear finish? Will it color the wood (yellowish/reddish/etc?) I'm looking for a clear wax that will leave raw wood looking raw.

Certainly always try a product on a sample before applying all over, but I found this product relatively clear.Certainly always try a product on a sample before applying all over, but I found this product relatively clear.Certainly always try a product on a sample before applying all over, but I found this product relatively clear.

I'll call it beige. It darkens as it drys. Not a common wood color. In my experience, it didn't pick up the color of the stain. I was using an oil based stain. In the end, it's not that noticeable as the floor I was refinishing has a lot of, um, character, so these imperfections don't really jump out. I was hoping that since I didn't buy a color matched product it would at least have taken some of the color of the stain.

The lighter color was more yellowish than I would have liked. If you had the right decor colors it would look great. It's just that we have a lot of natural wood; pine, cedar, hickory and the yellowish tint doesn't really go. Otherwise I'm real happy with them. They stay put, even when you vacuum over them. Hope this helps.

Yes ! It is not a permanent finish. It does darken the stone temporarily . As you live with soap stone you might appreciate the variety of possible "looks" your stone can give you. We have enjoyed the "softness" the stone reveals without the Beeswax and at other times the darkness the Beeswax gives your stone. We only have a 3 x 7 ft. stone on our peninsula and it is no big deal to wax the surface. We love our soapstone and the fact that we can change how we want it to look.

Hi. I have not had it yellow on any wood I have used. Always test a spot or two before applying on entire surface. I like this as it works well on so many woods and holds up so well. Good luck with your project. Last thought, a little goes a long way. Old Nick

I agree with everything JenO stated. This product may activate the paint and smear it like thinner. I would only use it on raw wood. By far the best finish for counter tops.

The smell is not stain it's the cedar wood. I think you can clear coat it if you put it outside.

I'm not sure what you mean by "is it permanent". It is not like a wax finish that you have to re-wax later down the road. It is a hard finish. It has a matte finish look. I love this oil finish. I build furniture and I have customers that only want this finish used on their furniture. I hope this helps.

Wax should make the gloss otherwise it's dull and chalky look only not really satisfied with this I did it but the look are not what I expected should have spent little more $ and buy Restauration Hardware paint look great or Benjamin Moore paint . No idea what you doing with it but regular paste wax in can for furnitures will look glossy.I use to do faux fini and trompe l'oeil murals in France because you find fantastic selection of paints color wax and more,here nothing, the price there are very high maybe will be no customers for it here. Still frustrating.

I would not consider it a bright white. It's not a lacquer finish. You do not see wood grain in the finish.

It is not really shiny-it is more of a rubbed oil sheen. It is a permanent finish which can be maintained quite easily. I like the finish a lot. But I like the application and green aspects as well. If your comparing to more toxic hard finishes which can be very shiny you may be disappointed. Also it likes to be rubbed (as in wax)evenly and more coats very thin are better very thin is all that is necessary.

It's completely unfinished and smooth. Its parawood, which is high quality. I stained mine; paint would probably work too

There is no finish. I finished mine with a clear waterproofer to keep it from turning grey. It brought out the natural cedar grain/color in the wood.

Hi, The Minwax White Wash is a transparent wash for wood. I have only used it on fresh cut wood. But, if you clean and sand, who knows? It could give the wood a white washed look. It would be great if you have a little corner or sample that you could try it on, see if the look is just what you want. I loved this White Wash. It was perfect for what we needed, I hope it will be perfect for you as well! Blessings in the New Year! JB

This is about as clear as varnishes/urethanes get. It will slightly yellow the wood whenyou apply it, but not very mutch at all, and it will NOT get more yellow over time like most polyurethanes do. I don't like the yellowed look, and very happy with this product. I have used it on both maple and walnut with good results.

Yes, it is clear / colorless. It's used to lightly overspray a finished piece to give it a semi-gloss sheen.
