Prestain


I am getting ready to stain a large project and just realized I may well not
have enough Minwax wood treatment to pretreat all the pine on the project.
It being 30 miles into town and remembering reading somewhere that you
could mix your own, does anyone have the mixing instructions/recipe?

Thanks
