We have small gouges in our gun stock colored wood floor. Will this stain the gouges or just make them shiny?

That depends, somewhat, on the finish and the material of your existing floor. Hardwoods have different characteristics than softer woods. Tru Oil is not a stain, it's a petroleum-based sealant and it will not hide, or mask, gouges. Tru Oil will not change the finish of the gouged areas. After application, it will appear uniform.

Try filling the gouges with a dab of the TruOil and then buff it a little then go ahead with a couple of full coats

This is only a finish, not a stain. Pick up a stain pencil to match at the box store for this problem

This is a great product, but not a stain. It would produce a slight tint. I would recommend a stain marker to touchup gouges.

This finish is glossy, so it will make dents stand out. The process for minimizing or removining the dent can probably be found on the Internet.

I haven't experienced any "stains" on the table. When the surface gets a little dirty, I "spritz" it with vinegar orPine Sol and wipe quicly. I don't let the cleaner sit on the tile surface. I think it's important to wipe the wood trim quickly as well.

I have never had a problem with damage or stains. Please keep in mind regular floor cleaning is the key to keeping the looks up on a hardwood floor. Once a week I always remove the Matt, mop wood floors with clean hot water and will leave the Matt at a different area of the floor over night soas the usual covered area had a chance to air out.

This is only to be used for for restoration/damaged wood. If the floors have been previously coated in a polyurethane coating (typical non-wax type floor treatment), it will bead up and ruin your floors. But the good news is it won't make your floors slippery :)

I'll call it beige. It darkens as it drys. Not a common wood color. In my experience, it didn't pick up the color of the stain. I was using an oil based stain. In the end, it's not that noticeable as the floor I was refinishing has a lot of, um, character, so these imperfections don't really jump out. I was hoping that since I didn't buy a color matched product it would at least have taken some of the color of the stain.

Yes. It will fill the scratches but it is a wax and will be slippery once it dries. You might want to consider using a dab of cherry colored stain instead. I would try keeping the stain cofined to the scratches only. Try using a small artist brush so as not to allow the stain to settle onto the other areas of your floor. Hope this helps!

Yes! That's the beauty of it. Mine were white-wash stained cabinets initially. I used "000" steel wool pads to scuff the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any gloss and to clean them up (don't kill yourself sanding...the steel wool works great and gets into the crevices). The gel stain is like a paint...it stays on top of the surface...does not really sink into the wood anyway, so as long as you scuff it up slightly it will work fine. Go for it!

My home has 50 year old wood floors that had a decent number of water spots. This product help to decrease the visibility of those spots. I am guessing it would not do a ton to cover the darkened areas or help even out the raised areas. It is a very thin coat of polyurethane that scratches easily even with multiple coats. It would give the floors a nice shine and help to fill in small scratches and give a bit of a barrier for future water but that's about it. I have spilled water on my coated floor and it leaves a very obvious water spot in the finish.

I also used Minwax wood finish in the yellow can. After drying, I applied Minwax semi-gloss polyurethane. I can't understand why you are having a problem. I guess you could try sanding the wood before applying the stain. I used English chestnut stain which is a medium brown. If you are going for a much darker finish, you might need to leave the stain on longer before wiping it off. Hope it works out well for you. My rack looks really nice. I would post a picture if I could.

No, it does not give the high shine I was looking for. I first used it straight but it made my floor sticky. Now I use it diluted (1/2 water) and it leaves the floor less tacky (but still is a little). No shine. For hardwood floor, I used to use Pinesol (diluted) and I received many compliments that my floor was shiny. For other surfaces, I find Bona Multisurface works the best and it gives the surface sheen with no stickiness.

Here are th instructions on the label: "Specifically formulated to clean all types of unwaxed, residential and commercial polyurethane finished wood floors. Quickly wipe out red wine, dried spaghetti sauce, mustard, ketchup, and heel scuffs. Unlike all-purpose cleaners, this cleaner will not dull your floor finish or leave an oily residue. A waterborne, non-toxic, environmentally responsible cleaner." I believe you will be pleased with this product on your floors. It has worked extremely well on my hardwood floors. Hope this helps.

I just wiped my gun down. My stock is synthetic, so I didn't have to work with the wood. It's pretty straight forward, take your time and it looks great

The floor is shiny after cleaning but the shine doesn't last for more than a few days. Then again, I do have a fairly hairy dog so maybe that isn't helping prolong the shine. I'm fairly certain you can use it on any type of flooring. I have bamboo flooring and it works very well on that. It also smells nice and dries fairly quickly.

Can't imagine what Quick Shine could have done to "ruin" your floors. It is simply a low-grade version of what your floors were probably sealed with in the first place. We use it on hardwood and tile floors that have lost their shine in 42 rental units and our home. It wears off with use, but takes quite a while (which is good from my point of view). But you can probably remove it with whatever is used to remove polyurethane. So confusing that you don't love it!

I don't think it'll remove those, it's just for quick cleaning. If there is a mark for example from hair dye, I could recommend to make a paste out of peroxide and baking soda and carefully rub the spot. For another floor damages there are different types of treatments on the market. Hope it'll help.

I had shiny wood gloss stain (I can not remember exact) and it went on without sanding at all! I also had paint on one of my cabinets and it went on that as well! It is still on and still looking great after at least 2 months!

I am assuming that you have sealed the floor. No this has not left any oily residue at all-it shines the wood well and it dries fast
