I have used the same stuff on both my tanks so far. You need to use the MinWax Wood Conditioner, it's an absolute must & NOT the water based stuff. Apply the conditioner, let soak in for the recommended time then wipe off excess & let dry for time stated on can. Apply the first coat lightly, allow to dry for time on can and then rub down with a fine steel wool. Apply 2nd coat, let dry & rub down again. Applet 3rd coat and your done. I let each coat dry for at least 24 hrs.

And with that procedure you will have totally water proofed your stand.

Here's a couple pics of mine, made of Birch & Oak
