## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should this be applied with a brush or cloth?**
A: We used a brush to apply and a cloth to rub it in/off after a few minutes. It's very easy to work with.

**Q: Is this considered a gel stain or regular stain?**
A: It's not a gel stain but the consistency is thicker than a regular stain.

**Q: Looking to paint hollow doors- Do I need a wood conditioner first? Or will this cover well in 1 coat?**
A: This is not a paint, but rather a stain. If you're looking to cover up defects or anything along those lines this will not work. Yes, it will alter the color of the wood with one use though.

**Q: Can this stain be thinned out? If so, with what?**
A: I haven't tried but other reviews indicate the fast drying formula is already thinned out

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product
*by S***N on January 27, 2022*

For what I desired to acccomplish, it only took one application of product to gain the results intended. This was applied to a 1 x 4 x 8 poplar wood board that was lightly sanded. Applied with a lint free cloth. Boards are being used as door rails (to prevent drywall damage). Color of wood stain board incorporated a wonderful accent piece. So much so, that I have decided to replace the original partical board bar counter with a 2 x 12 x 7 woood plank that will be stained the same color.
