## Description

Varathane 297426 Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain, Rustic Sage, 32 oz, Quart

Review: love this! - great color, great stain. not sticky. easy to use. amazing coverage.
Review: Reliable and consistent performance - 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.

## 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
