OT:Minwax Wood Finish
Jim Rutten
Hi guys,
I know this belongs on the flat side but I trust you guys more. My FIL made a beautiful drawer for his workbench and used the above product to on it. It says on the can that it stains and seals but he had some moisture problems (drawer got stuck). So, is the sealer part of this not ready for prime time? Is there some product he can use on top of this to seal from moisture? Thanks for you input. Will be checking back when able. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

No matter what you put on wood, it will expand and contract with seasonal changes. Thick poly may slow the movement, but it still happens and at the same dimensional changes.

if you have room, apply teflon buttons/glides between the drawer and the tracks. They can be countersunk most of the way.

In addition to the above, was the wood fully dry before finishing? Could try rubbing paraffin where rubbing.

Did the drawer expand or the cabinet shrink?? No matter, you have to leave room for movement.
