Could you please tell as to what is *Minwax*? What is the generic name of this compound? "MinWax" is a company name. The company makes wood stains varnishes, poly-whatever finishes, wood filler, and a number of other wood-finish related products. The MinWax product we speak about most often here is a "wood hardener." I have no idea what's in it; and it doesn't smell like anything _I_ recognize. ;-) The product is made to soak into and harden pulpy, rotted wood -- as in porches and decks. There is a similar product -- GitRot -- that is intended to do the same for rotted wood in boat hulls or decks, but it is made by another company. There may be other, similar, products. Neither of these, probably, is available in India, but you could do a web search for "wood hardener" and see what pops up. The other MinWax product(s) I find very useful are the broad-tip felt pens filled with wood stain of various kinds. I use these to disguise major branch cuts until they callus over and to color jin and shari on deciduous trees where the white look of lime sulfur is totally inappropriate. The "pickled oak" color even imparts a lightish color to bare wood.
