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 clean up. For more information, call the National Lead

Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local health authority.

before staining.

 Sand the wood in the direction of the grain using fine-grade sandpaper (#220)

until smooth.

 To ensure uniform acceptance of stain color and beautiful results, pretreat the

wood with Minwax® Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner following label directions.

 Apply stain in the direction of the grain with a brush or clean cloth.  Allow the stain to penetrate 5-15 minutes to achieve desired color. The more time the stain is allowed to penetrate, the richer and darker the color will be.  Remove stain that has not absorbed into the wood with a clean cloth. Wipe in the direction of the grain, while blending light and dark areas to obtain uniform color. DO NOT ALLOW STAIN THAT HAS NOT PENETRATED INTO THE WOOD TO DRY ON THE WOOD SURFACE.
