Would this paint work?...** A: The varathane product shown is a wood stain. Assuming the drapery rings are wooden, it would be difficult to get a good stain effect even when well sanded. Would suggest a gel stain, which is more paint like or just get a walnut paint. This is from my experience in restaining wood, others may have better advice. Good luck. **Q: Can this be used over woodfiller ?** A: Yes! I used filler and went over the top without any wipe off. Looks perfect and only took half a day to dry (sooner if you follow the instructions to wipe but I liked the stronger pigment and lighter grain look). **Q: Why is my piece not drying ? It’s about 12 days now.** A: Same with mine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Color *by A***. on August 9, 2026* Used this for an indoor beam project we took on and I was not disappointed.
