Antique Furniture Refinisher, 1 Quart

Excellent product! Very strong stuff so wear a good mask. Use 00000 steel wool, it won't scratch, and a clean kint free t-shirt or towel. Soak the steelWool press out excess and immediately wipe off. You want the wool verycwet but not to where its running. Depending on how thick the coating is you may need to do several scrubbs. Tape off anything you don't want solvent to drip on. Also bought the minwax poly, don't buy it it sucks! Dries in literally 3 seconds. I tried, and messed it all up, had to restrip the top again. I'm 86 the minwax and instead using Tung oil as the finish. Minwax is horrible!

This stuff works great on removing old clear finishes and if used right will not remove the stain

This stuff was a great approach to refinishing an old pine desk. The wipe-on-off method saved any sanding, which would've scarred this ancient soft wood.

My own lack of due diligence left me shocked at the small container that I received. I assumed it was a gallon based on the price. It works but it works just like lacquer thinner an I can get a gallon for the same price. I will probably buy it again to give it another try on other furniture pieces and I hope that changes my mind.

After doing some research for finish removers, I decided to give this a try, and I was pretty pleased with the results. It did take lots of elbow grease, but I was using it for a pretty large job. It did OK for the job, but it would really excel at small projects. My project was stained and finished (I'm guessing with lacquer, but I can't be sure), and this product immediately softened the finish so I could scrub it off with steel wool. It did remove a fair amount of the stain as well, but not all of it.

The Minwax antique furniture refinisher is effective for restoring and revitalizing old wood furniture. The formula works well to remove stains and bring back the original luster. It’s easy to apply and doesn’t require a lot of effort. The smell can be strong, so use it in a well-ventilated area. Overall, it’s a great product for maintaining and restoring wooden furniture.

Fast way to remove old finish from wood. Even if you don't know what exactly is on it. No interference with new stain.

Excellent product to remove old dark finish from older/antique furniture. Very fast acting. Recommend applying with 0000 steel wool to soften. Then wipe residue off with old towel pieces. Word of caution: only use with plenty of ventilation and be certain to wear a professional chemical mask.

Minwax products are always great products. My go to for any of my projects. Easie of use and quality of results are hard to beat.

Minwax Furniture Refinisher Easy to use and very effective if you are removing just the original finish (stain). Varathane requires sanding as the finish is harder to penetrate. My second time using the product. Deborah Hynes

This is a great product for refinishing and restoring antique furniture. It works as described. Do follow the safety precautions (especially about working in a well-ventilated space). I am amazed that Canadian hardware stores such as Home Depot and Rona don't have it in stock. And I'm really annoyed with Home Depot who have completely stopped selling any Minwax products - I've been using these for decades, and they are very good. Fortunately I still had some Minwax furniture polish on my shelf, and this was a nice way to bring a new shine back to the furniture after I had used the refinisher. Yay Minwax! Boo to short-sighted Canadian retailers!

I was pleased with the product and the timely delivery

The product was perfect for the job.
