Minwax308200000 Wood Finishing Cloths, Natural Oak

This was easy to use and worked very well for taking care of touch ups on pieces of furniture.

Arrived dry and not useful

Used this to color beads that I used to make bracelets! The color was dark and it stained well when I mixed water in with it to create a lighter and thinner coat. Smells strong but not too strong.

Bought these to refinish a similar-colored older but not fancy sofa-side table. Very easy to use right out of the package but quite messy.They come with gloves (a single one? a pair? I didn't unwrap them) but I used thicker disposable gloves we already had, one on each hand (and a new set for each layer of stain). You'll want the gloves. The stain starts getting on stuff (like the outside of the package) as you open the package. After the first swiping round, I kept a sandwich baggie handy so when I pulled one out to touch up small sections I could wrap that cloth back up for additional use later.The stain itself? Easy to wipe on. Seems to cover well - possibly too well (this may be the "too thick" comments others made). There seems to be plenty on the cloth at first but it transfers quickly. I found that folding the cloth back and forth got more even results. Dries very quickly, at least on the outside, so if you're going to go back and even it out don't wait more than a minute or two.Suggestions for improvements to the product and its packaging:Make it a little easier to open the package one-handed. Make it easier to grab the edge of each cloth without needing to stick your fingers all the way in. Have the opening closer to the top or bottom or an edge so it's easier to just pull a corner out for small touch-ups.

It doesn't show any grain in trhe wood. It's more like smearing on paint but it's tougher than paint andit does cover the wood wear and marks well. I sealed mine as well because the first time I used this product it was on a wooden bathroom vanity top. Every soap mark or good wiping to clean the top, took off the 'stain'. I think sealing it will help that.
