| Minwam (spelled incorrectly on purpose) is for the lazy. It is inferior in blending and spreading quality, has issues with yellowing, chipping, and tends if colored to be foggy; does not enhance grain. I suppose it is okay for those applications where the wood is not of high quality but I will not use it myself. Big market share is mostly related to advertising (brand recognition) rather than producing a quality product. Over years, for small applications I have given it a 'new' try: I have NEVER been pleased with the result. Woman on the eastbound train ...........................................Je Suis Désolé.

| Lots of good info, Jamie! Thanks! Unfortunately, I have in fact used the minwax, but not for anything special. I will remember to try a different product next time to compare the difference. Another Day in Paradise! |

| I too have used it ... when I was doing a lot of wood work crafty little things .. im not much into the refinishing yet .. thanks for the info... check out my new store Metamorphosis Upcycled/Recycled Glass http://www.facebook.com/MetamorphosisUpcycledRectcledGlass?v... , http://cubits.org/diycomfortheserious/thread/view/35215/#new... |

The difference is more work, better result. Depends on the project I suppose. Fine for trinkets or cheap shelves and stuff, I guess. Real wood has soul and deserves to be treated that way.

| Jamie - My dh has worked with wood most all his life and would agree with you about wood having a soul. The soul of a beautiful tree that stood tall once. A living thing. I agree, too! Another Day in Paradise! |
