Does anyone know where I can buy gallon size can of Minwax pre-stain
wood conditioner? Every other Minwax product except this is sold in my
local HD in Qt or Gallon size. I need to stain several wood doors so I
would like to but a large can to save some money. Are there only
resources that sell pre-stain wood conditioner in gallon size with
reasonable shipping charge?


I've used natural Danish oil as a pre-stain conditioner and for my
purposes
it seems to work just as well, plus it's a lot cheaper than the Minwax
stuff.



The Mixwax pre-stain goes a long ways and a single "small" can would
probably do two 3-0 doors... Check the coverage on the can. I only used
about 2/3rds of a can on a table that was about 30X64--top, bottom, frame,
legs, leave structure, etc., were all covered liberally. A couple door slabs
wouldn't be much more surface area.
