[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8748617, member: 615398"] If its blue and Minwax and came from Home Depot then its prob a water based because they did not sell a tintable Minwax oil based stain due to using generic Behr water based pigments and those pigments are only water and alkyd base compatible. Water based paints and stains cannot be thinned with mineral spirits. If you are unsure of the type you have, read the clean up instructions- it will be either soap and water or a solvent. Within the last few years the Minwax contract expired with HD and they didnt renew it, instead making a contract with Varathane aka Rustoleum. The Varathane premium fast dry is actually pretty nice and is an oil based stain so it can be thinned with mineral spirits. [/QUOTE]
