About Varathane 262025 Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain, Half Pint, Dark Walnut
Overall Feedback:
94% positive
92% praised the color quality, while 8% noticed unevenness
The stain color is a bit darker and more red than shown.
I initially thought the stain would match my dressing table, but it turned out to be a different color. The resulting color is similar to the costliest teak wood type stain and is now a unique color.
The actual color of the stain does not match the picture or label, it is grey.
89% appreciated the fast drying time, though 11% experienced slow drying
It took longer to dry than the stated time, but it could be due to the humid weather in FL.
87% liked the long-lasting finish, but 13% noticed it didn't hold up
The stain is durable and doesn't run when overcoated with either oil based or water based exterior spar varnish and water based interior varnish.
I had to quickly wipe the wood down once the stain was applied, indicating that it may not be durable enough to last long on the wood.
92% found it easy to apply
To use the wipe-off technique, I need to sand the wood surface smooth. The wood stain is easy to apply.
91% praised the high-gloss finish
I found that the stain is oil-based and gives a decent shine. Once finished with lacquer or PU, the texture becomes brilliant.
I made the vanity from redwood and despite being questionable, it turned out well.
90% liked the low-odor formula, though 10% found it strong
Initially, applying the stain was a little scary.
The wood stain covered the wood like an ugly gray paint.
