TRADE MINWAX MARK Tips on WOOD FINISHING

Floors never need rescraping When you put the finish in the wood—not just on it—your floors will last a lifetime. Minwax goes deep into the wood . . . leaves no brittle surface to scratch or mar. You have a choice of Natural Minwax or a wide range of color tones. Maintain with liquid wax and you never have to refinish your floors. Today's trend is to paneling Easy-to-use Minwax brings out wood's natural beauty. Simply apply Minwax Wood Finish to the panel after sanding it thoroughly. Then add a light touch of Minwax Finishing Wax. The result is a rich, hand-rubbed look. For authentic Colonial effects, try Cherry, Ipswich or Puritan Pine. Modern effects include Driftwood, Straw or Spruce Gray. Unfinished furniture Minwax imparts a rich, warm glow to unfinished furniture . . . cabinets . . . new shelves and wood trim. Choose wood with uniform grain and sand silk-smooth. Finish as above in your choice of Minwax quick-drying colors. For over 50 years Minwax Wood Finishes have been the standard of quality with architects, custom builders and antique dealers. Also economical and easy to use are Minwax Finishing Wax, liquid or paste, and that wonderful new repair stick for surface scratches — Blend-Fil.
