will it darken unfinished cedar?

You are putting oil on a porous unfinished wood. I would think, yes. You could always test in a small spot first.

It will darken the color. Once it sets completely it has a nice waxy feel, but this can cause a slight stickyness. For this reason I began using Fiebing's Golden Mink Oil, which I highly recommend. The mink oil causes some darkening too.

Even though it says "clear" the wax will be white if it isn't buffed out. I use this to seal my bronze & stone sculptures and the wax tends to collect in small crevices, making it hard to buff out. As bare wood is inherently full of open pores I would suggest an inconspicuous test first so your surface isn't ruined.

If you could find stainless steel brads it wood be perfect. If you use galvanized nails or regular interior nails they will create black streaks in the cedar.

It will darken it to the same extent as an application of lemon oil, if you've used that. Oiling or waxing always makes wood appear just a hair darker, but it brings out the luster and wax protects the surface somewhat. It doesn't discolor or tint, particularly.

I am thinking you can use it on a newly stained table. It is very gentle, no chemicals.....It may temporarily darken the wood but after applying you wait a few hours and then wipe it off. It really is so great on my wooden counters which are unfinished. If the wood is sealed with polyurethane or something like that, the cream wood just lay on the top and not penetrate the wood. I don't believe a stained wood would be a problem as long as it not sealed with anything else.....

We are still waiting to see if this is a preservative. It immediately turned our red cedar shed a muted green-brown color. We are watching to see if the summer sun transforms the color to grey.

Yes. I have 90 year old mahogany floors that are unfinished. I stripped the old wax off the floors then applied new stain to the floors followed by Rejuvenate. It smooths out the imperfections in the old floor and looks great. It is holding up quite well but I did notice that dripping anything acidic on the floor (vinegar, lemon/lime juice) leaves a small whitish spot on the floor. I assume this is due to the liquid reacting with the Rejuvenate.

If you are referring to the rock type, slate, perhaps it will. Slate is very porous; it will absorb the product. I would carefully use a scraper first. Use of any wax remover product with petroleum distillates (as this one has) could change the hue of the slate rock to be darker due to the absorption of the product. I would test in an inconspicuous place on that slate, if possible. Once the wax is removed, you might consider having a clean cloth with a bit of the Candle Wax Remover on it to gloss over the whole piece to keep a more even 'look' to the slate.

No, you'll need to spray it on cedar blocks, etc. If you have cedar closets, that'll work.

It is unfinished/raw western cedar. I am going to let mine weather naturally until it gets slightly more gray. Then I intend to use a clear wood preservative such as Thompsons. Cedar does not require a finish but will last much longer if it is at least oiled.

This will dry clear but will slightly darken the area the same as if it were wet. It does what it is designed for but you can see where it has been applied.

Yes, I'm not sure if the color and feel of the wood will change but it can be used on unfinished wood.

Depends on the wood species. I've used it on various soft woods from cedar to douglas fir and they turned various shades of gray with the color deepening over time and exposure to the sun and elements. The bits of scrap I have experimented with on other woods all have slightly different reactions. You just have to test and see. It's not a set rule.

It works really well, and unlike some of the alkaline enviromental strippers (like Peel Away 7) it won't darken the wood. If the paint is many coats accumulated over decades, it may require a second application to get it all.

It will darken the leather somewhat!But it will also water proof and seal the leather.I use it to seal and protect the stitching on my boots and so far it's worked all winter with just one coat

I put it on darker wood and have only the first coat on it so far. I dont think I will be able to tell over this dark wood if it has any discoloration.
