Oil based : transparent wood stains such as Minwax, : are the easiest to use and can be blended : to make millions of shades. Before you : start, make sure that the finish on the : rest of the piece is cleaned and restored : to your satisfaction since this is the : color you'll be matching to. It is safer : to 'build up' color with more light coats : rather than one coat of a darker color. : Leave 24 hours between coats.
