## Description

Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain Dark Walnut is a fast drying wood stain system that is enhanced with nano-pigment particles. Reason To Use: 1. Shelf life: A 3 years lifecycle can be achieved with this coating. 2. Oil-base: An oil-based paint that has a high adhesion. 3. Coverage: It covers up to 70 square feet. 4. Prevention of rotting: Wood is prone to rotting and it can develop in a variety of ways, but mold, mildew and termites are a few of the most common culprits. Using wood satin right away and applying re-coats regularly is crucial to avoid rotting. Recommend Use: On interior furniture, cabinets, doors and trim, floors and paneling.

Review: Good coverage - Small tin but surprisingly covers a lot of area.
Review: Beautiful finish - Repainted a few IKEA furniture - with little scuffing prior to painting, the rendering is excellent. Mind the drying time though that takes days

## 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
