Clear on
Multiple coats thinly spread well and took a moment to soak in so did a couple coats too. Worked like a charm and absorbed the stain nicely. Good value.

It works nicely, but mine didn't survive shipping too well. About 1/3 had leaked all over the box, it was a mess. Despite that, enough was left to finish my project. The stain went on evenly over this pre-stain, everything was easy to apply.

Minwax Pre-Stain: Taming the Wood Beast, One Coat at a Time!
As a weekend warrior tackling my first furniture refinishing project, I was nervous about getting an even stain. Enter Minwax Pre-Stain, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer! Here's my honest review:Pros:Smooth Operator: This stuff applies like a dream, leaving no streaks or residue. My bare wood went from thirsty to prepped and ready for stain in minutes.Water-Based Winner: No harsh fumes or messy cleanup! This water-based formula is a breath of fresh air compared to traditional oil-based conditioners.Stain Savior: The stain went on like butter, soaking evenly into the wood without blotching. It definitely made the whole process less stressful.Easy Does It: The instructions were clear and concise, perfect for DIY beginners like myself.Cons:Not a Magician: While it helped even out the stain, it didn't magically fix imperfections in the wood itself. Sanding is still your friend!Subtle Boost: The color enhancement is subtle, so don't expect a dramatic transformation. It mainly helps the stain look its best.Pricey Potion: It costs a bit more than some other conditioners, but for me, the ease of use and water-based formula were worth it.

Don’t stain without it!
I am a believer in this product and will be ordering more. I’m fairly new to woodworking. I used this product on the first two pictures below (the nightstands and the entry way table). After the pre-stain dried, the stain went on like butter. Minimal splotchiness, and so easy to apply.I DIDN’T use it on the farmhouse-style dining room table because the stain I used advertised that no conditioner was needed. The stain was splotchy and took a lot of time to work out and correct. I wound up going through an entire quart on this one table, and I firmly believe it’s because I didn’t condition the wood first.Do note that you need to allow sufficient time for this product to dry before applying stain. I live in a humid environment and complete my projects outside, so it actually took about 90 minutes to fully dry.Overall, solid product at a fair price. Recommend!

Worked perfectly on maple
I needed to refinish a maple guitar neck with a vintage stain, and the stain wasn't take evenly. I sanded it back to bare wood again and tried this product. The directions were easy to follow, and the product was easy to use. When I applied the stain afterwards, it was far better. It also needed fewer applications of stain to get to the correct shade. The stain also seemed to remain the same color when dry as when it was wet - usually it lightens a bit. I used water based dye stain.
