Pros & Cons
Pros
Minwax stain emits a lovely gray hue. Because of the lovely hues it emits, i'm sure i'll put this on wood by itself in the future. Currently waiting on my grout to “german schmear” the rest of the fireplace.
Cons
Minwax is untrustworthy, irresponsible and un-responsive to their customers. Liked the price, but will not be ordering again. This item is not returnable according to amazon regulations so make sure 8oz is all you want.
Stain is terrible… has a pink tint. Should be a white pickled oak stain. Lends a whitewash look to the natural wood.
Highlights

Easy to use and a great color.

I cleaned the surface of my front doors before i used a rag to put the stain on and it went on very easily.

Price
Just the right size and a decent price.
It is a good value for a quart which will cover a lot of wood pieces, unlike a pint.
