Minwax Wood Finish Stain Marker, Red Oak, .33 oz.

I do a lot of trim work. High end stain-grade trim work. The Minwax Stain Markers are my saving grace. Every corner, miter, inside and out has one thing in common, the cut end. If you don't deal with those cut ends, they will surely show. The secret is to daub a little of the finish color on the cut ends BEFORE they're installed. Voila! No more base color of the wood showing through. Couldn't do what I do and get paid for it without Minwax's Stain Markers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm restoring our 1886 house and I am using Polyshade for all of my wood projects, plus a few that aren't wood! Our original woodwork is a dark amber cherry, and I was worried about matching it. I am using coffee Gel Stain for my first step, then going over it with Polyshade Mission Oak in the gloss finish. It matches perfectly! I've also used it on the 1886 cast iron fireplace mantle, as well as new polyurethane molding, I just painted them a matte light orange first. Again, spectacular results! I remember my grandpa always using Minwax products, saying that you just couldn't find better wood products; 50 years later, I'm telling my grandson the same thing!

I have rescue dogs and they mark against everything. The stain on my cabinets and chair legs were starting to look pretty sad. I bought one of these to try and everything that I have touched up looks great! I'm going to need to buy a couple more because now I want to use them wherever there is damage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't have high hopes for this pen because they typically look very obvious after application. This one actually worked amazingly well, but make sure to pay close attention to the coloring. The color i got went on a bit on the darker side, but I just let it sit and soak for a few minutes and took a soft cloth (one you don't care about) and kind of buffed the area to blend and slightly lighten the color. For small scratches, grudges, and nicks- this was fantastic! You couldn't tell you had used something like this for it's repair, by any means. Also it's worth noting that letting it dry for awhile is a good idea! With a larger area you may be able to tell a bit more but the cloth buffing also worked wonders. I would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of Minwax® Wood Finish™ Stain Marker to try and review. I used this on a table that had been moved and sustained multiple scratches. I was afraid it would be too dark when I opened the cap, but after smoothing the product into the scratches, it blended well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scratches on our oak dining tabletop and nicks in its legs disappeared when I used the MINWAX Wood Finish Stain Marker to touch up the imperfections. I followed the clear, simple directions, applying the stain directly to the scratched light areas and wiped off the excess liquid. It dried quickly to a perfect match. This application required no prep work and was easy to use. Next, I plan to purchase the “Cherry” shade to touch up several accent furniture pieces. This product is a winner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to cover scuff marks for my cabinet. I was able to cover the scuff marks and have it look so much better. It's really easy to use with the marker and a paper towel. I haven't had any issues using it. I love the way that my cabinet looks now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these pens now and again, and I'm never disappointed. They match nearly all my wood grains and always make the product look new. They've helped me extend the life of my wood furniture. Application is easy, and I feel like I'm paying the proper attention and giving solid care to my furniture. A great value.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Miniwax Wood Finish Stain Marker is a great product. It is simple and easy to use. It works really well on scratches and nicks on furniture, cabinets, wood floors, and a lot of other wood stuff. I used it on some scratches on my entertainment center and it worked great. My entertainment center looks so much better now. It also dried really fast. I will continue to use this product and highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just got a new kitchen table and somehow the leg got a big scratch on it. We've honestly never used a stain maker before. We followed the directions and were able to make the table leg look good as new.
