Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain

so easy to use- such a pretty color. i used one coat on top of a pre stain conditioner for context. (this is kona) the smell dissipated quickly and it was a quality stain that worked well!

Beautiful color! I bought the Black Cherry stain to try out a first time project and wasnt really sure how it would come out but... I am blown away with how gorgeous this came out. There is plenty left for future projects and it didn't take long to set into the grain either. The coverage was perfect; it took maybe four quick dips of stain to cover the table top and it went on smoothly. Very effective and exactly what I wanted.

This is the perfect Maple stain for any project. My bass drum hoops look beautiful! East to apply, dries quick

A little bit of this stuff goes a long way. In the can it's as black as motor oil, and goes on about the same (but not in viscosity). If you leave it on, it will yield a dark gray on your wood. Not black, but it'll be dark. If you're going for the weathered gray, this will do the trick, but only if you're quickly wiping it down with your cloth. Recommend that you have a test piece of the same wood and do a few strokes to see how it's turning out with wiping and not wiping, and with different time left on the wood. I've achieved a great look with a couple of pine porch gliders, but have to very quickly wipe the wood down once this stain is applied, applied with a cloth as well. It also seems to take quite a while to dry, almost a full day. And the stain smell will linger for some time, at least a couple of weeks. All this being said, I'm happy with the product. It does exactly what it says it will do, and I've come out with good-looking pieces. Your results may vary.

I've been using Varathane oil-based stains for many years now because it was readily available where I shop. I was pleased to know that I could have it delivered to my door. The product performs excellently. It is very easy to apply, dries at a decent rate, and yields an even color tone on my small projects. The uniformity from can to can is very close when comparing freshly stained pieces to older ones. However, results may vary depending on several factors such as, daylight/UV exposure and stirring frequency. I'd absolutely recommend Varathane oil-based stains.

This is a great product. exact color. dries quickly. great price!

This is great stain, it covers very easily. Used on Bathroom cabinets - what a great look in the bathroom.

Absolutely beautiful. Exactly what I wanted. As a woodworking beginner, I made a lot of mistakes but I did not make one when I bought Black cherry stain. I discovered if I used it on bare wood with nice grain, then wiped some of it off, it created beautiful red areas on the grain. I didn’t put theThe wood through the jointer as I wanted for a rustic look. Couldn’t be happier. Was able to clean up the mess using dawn and scrubber.
