Dark Walnut, Varathane Water-Based Wood Stain-381119, Quart

After my delivery issue,doordash driver decided to re -think and brought my item bk left it on my patio in the cold for over a hour . I however used it on my wooden rocking chair followed the directions on can and it turned out beautiful! Great product.

Just used up the first quart and ordered a second for 6 panel room screen. Excellent coverage, gets what I want with 2 coats and keep a window open. Brushes clean with water so its easy on the hands.

Beautiful color. Just don't rush the process. Sand carefully with the right grit for the project. A cloth rag works better than a brush. Allow to completely dry between coats.

This was exactly what I was looking for.

Very nice color for my new fence. I mix it with the clear water based wood sealer for extra protection. BEAUTIFUL!

This stain was easy to work with and achieved beautiful results.

One coat gave a perfect semi gloss finish.

stir very well, then stir again. This for us that need this advice, lol

Use this for many of my home woodworking projects. Goes on well and settles quickly. Makes regular pine look much better.

I bought this to re-stain some dining room chair legs a darker color. The color was great. However, the stain never dried; it stayed tacky for days. After researching, my guess is that the stain I received was very old or heat-damaged so that the emulsion process was broken so the stain wouldn't absorb and set properly. My fix was to paint clear polycrylic over it and that finally worked. Also, point a fan at it for a few hours/days and ensure you work on a day with low humidity. I bought this online, so had no way to check the expiration date (not that it has one stamped on it anyway). At a price of $16 per quart it did not meet my expectations.
