MāKRS Stain Pad Double Thick

Had to stain a door frame when our door was replaced. Never stained before but decided to use these pads instead of a brush. These were by far the best decision I made. Job came out perfect, easy to use pads, nice quality. They do have lint on them so I removed it before hand with a lint brush. Not sure about cleaning them because I threw mine away.

I prefer this to a reusable brush. It's flexible and works the finish you're using in effectively. Yes, it leaves little fibers as you apply. Just wipe them away as you work, it's not that big a deal.

I love these. Cut a section off and let it soak up your stain. I rarely have to refill the pad when staining and I don't get a lot of streaks.

It's definitely snag free, and very nice to use (at least with oils, as far as I know) but it does leave behind lint. Even after a thorough cleaning off the cloth after the initial cutting, it still continued leaving lint around my project. I could easily remove it while using Boiled Linseed Oil, but I can't vouch for other uses.

Just dip and go 🫶

If you cut it the fibers will never stop coming out. I used a vacuum and still little fibers showing in the finish.

These would be better if they came as smaller pads. When you cut them, you get a lot of fuzz/lint from the microfiber. Even cleaning as much as possible, you still get residue.

The description says, "Ideal applicator pad for all wood stains & sealers. Wipe on Poly, Water & Oil based stain, Gel stain, varnish, shellac, Tung oil, furniture polish, wax". However, I used this with "Varathane: Classic Penetrating Wood Stain" (a Rustoleum product with a petroleum base, sold at Home Depot), and things went south after about 10 minutes of staining.I've used this particular stain a lot and it works great on bare wood. It's my go-to for staining. This applicator pad was working out real well too for the first 10 min or so, but then I started seeing sticky, stain-colored blobs all over my door that I was staining. I had to stop and find some way of cleaning up the blobs which was tedious and aggravating. Thankfully it didn't ruin the staining process.Some investigating revealed that it was the foam core of the pad that was dissolving with the petroleum based stain and creating these sticky blobs. This pad is NOT compatible with solvents, despite the description.If you use it with a water based stain, though, you'll probably love it.

Das Pad kommt als ein grosses Stück und das Geheimnis ist, daß man es zerschneiden kann in kleinere Abschnitte von z.B.5x8 cm. Die sind aufgrund des Aufbaus aus Schaum und Microfaser wie ein schöner Pinsel. Wir haben 25 Stufen und 6m2 Flur mit nur einem Stück geölt. Keine nervigen Fussel, wie von Tüchern oder ausfallende Haare wie beim Pinseln. Tolles Produkt, welches einfach Spaß macht und funktioniert. Das Stück muss am Ende aber weggeworfen werden. Auswaschen geht nicht, weil es sich so vollsaugt.

I did order this product two times but feel it is over-priced because you do not get as many pads as they state after you cut it. You would have to have very small hands to get that many! I got a total of four. As another reviewer mentioned, the fluff after cutting...be careful and really remove as much as you can before staining. The pads did do a good job applying the stain...why I ordered twice.

Used it to stain feast watson wipe on stain and poly. Happy with the results.

I love using these pads. The white wash was so easy to spread. It gave a nice even finish.
