Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain - Briarsmoke - 1/2 Pint

great product

We love the way this project turned out. This appearance of the stain is spot on and was easy to use. It looks fabulous. We used pine so we did use a wood conditioner first, but tested the timing on a scrap beforehand. The color is a warm blue on the pine. I would definitely use it for a different project!

I used this to color wash over dated orangey oak cabinetry. I wiped it on with a paper towel, then wiped lightly. Allowed 12-24 hours between "coats" until I liked the color depth. Topped with walnut varathane stain tinted varnish. They look amazing and the brown tone now is so fashionable!

LOVE this product! It gives the perfect finish of antique white on my porch wood and is very water resistant! I’m very pleased!

Very pleased with the color. Was not a very strong odor and was very easy to use.

good enough, hard to open.

Easy application and I would use again. My only reason for four out of five stars is because the color is much grayer than what is on the can. I was expecting a little more brown.

it didnt stain like the color indicated,and it took days to dry.iv even attempted to put on another coat after days of letting it dry,and still,so i added another while still undry as well .it initally went on blue but thats it

I purchased this for my wood floors. Had I purchased it for Furniture, it might’ve been great; however, I was given the advice to purchase for refinishing my wood floors—mistake. Please note that this stain cannot be used on wood floors. This information should be in big letters on the can. This stain provides a lovely color if you’re working with something very small. I would not use it on large table tops or larger pieces of furniture unless the surface areas are smaller and can be completed quickly because it dries very fast and in order to have an even coloring, you have to be able to wipe it off consistently and in less than two minutes. The balance of using this product must be that whatever amount of time you let it soak (less than 2 minutes ) that’s the same amount of time you must let it soak for every piece you stain of your project. If I were trying to use this on something small, I would say that it would work with excellence. For example, when I tested it on my wood floor pieces to see what color I desired, it was great. When I attempted to do a 12” x 12” square on my wood floor, that was fine. Any surface much larger, I wouldn’t use this stain.

too watery
