I would not recommend it for unsealed/ unfinished wood. If the wood is dirty, sand or or steel wool area. The purpose of this product is to clean and protect the FINISH of the wood. The company states it may dry out area or leave an oily residue....but not harm the wood. You dont state why you would want use the product.....You may want to google the company for a type of product you need for your concern, I have always found them very helpful.

I used the arm-R-Seal on all the bedroom furniture I built. I tried the Gel Top Coat & it did not have a smooth looking finish. I also used Java Gel Stain on all the same furniture with all positive results.

There are probably better and cheaper solutions for moulding like tongue oil or linseed oil. Van's works well on unfinished wood furniture, so I'm sure it would also work on unfinished moulding just make sure you have enough and it does have to be reapplied over time.

yes.....if the wood is unsealed or not painted it may penetrate the surface and enter the grain...if the wood product is sealed or painted it works just as described. You might want to consider "Wet and Forget" also...google it and read its applications..I use it on wood decking.

You are putting oil on a porous unfinished wood. I would think, yes. You could always test in a small spot first.

Yes. This product works best on sealed surfaces, but may also be used on unsealed surfaces as well.

It is more for touch-ups and for hiding scratches completely on natural or lighter colored finished wood, not for unfinished.

The wood is finished, so not sure it would take a stain without sanding or taking off the finish.

I'm sorry, I don't know about use with stained or finished surfaces. Works great on bare wood.

yes IF the wood is painted or sealed - always test, test, test before diving in and spraying anything that is wood. Never use it on unsealed wood as it will affect the wood and may result in an expensive fix or replacement.

I just use a damp cloth. It's not real wood so furniture polish would not be absorbed. It would leave it oily.

I have not used it on antique furniture but the compound has wood fibers in it which should take a water-based wood dye in order to make it blend with the original finish. On antique furniture I either replace the wood in kind or use burn-in stick shellac to fill small holes and cracks. This is a wonderful product and performs as advertised. I used it to restore fretwork on an 1892 Queen Ann house with excellent results. Of course I painted over the repairs which now cannot be seen. For painted antique furniture this would be excellent. By the way, it's final color when hardened is a light tan.

My experience has only been with cabinets with a laminate finish...I would not think using it on unfinished wood would be a good idea however...it is strong.

That is not correct. This is a great product. It will actually preserv the finish on any wooden surface. I've been using it on over 500 pieces of furniture on the company that I work for over 5 years with amazing results!!!

I doubt it. I believe the intent for use is coat over clean, reasonably sanded and smoothed, and perhaps stained wood. I used it over new oak for my outdoor bench.
