GRAIN GUARDWood Stain Water Based | English Oak | 500ml | Interior Furniture Stain | Light & Dark Stains | Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic Wood Dye | Easy Application | Quick Dry & Low Odour

I made a set of drawers from pallet wood and decided to stain them. Picked this because the price was decent but I didn't have high hopes, as pine is notoriously difficult to get a good even stain on.My initial test pieces were ok, I had used a rag to apply 3 coats, and liked how it looked so took the plunge. But as I had 30 drawers to stain I decided it would be quicker to tip all the stain into a tub, and dunk each drawer and wipe off the excess.Well the results are brilliant, I'm blown away by how they look. I went for the dark walnut stain and if you didn't know any better you probably wouldn't guess it was pine. It stained it nice and evenly, and one dunk gave a nice rich colour so further coats were not needed. Would absolutely buy this again.*If it helps anyone, I sanded to 180 grit first. I did however forget to raise the grain and do a final sand before staining, so as this is a water based stain, it has left some grain texture but it works for me so I don't mind, but something to be aware of

This product is amazing very easy to put onto the wood and the final look is fantastic. When my wooden floor boards are looking like they need help its always the wood stain that I go to.

Replaced my radiator mdf tops with scaffold boards to offer a more country-esque feel. Stained the boards to offer a contrast against the cream of the covers. Thaey look great. All I've done since is wax the boards and when the heating is on the smell is amazing. I've had a few comments on the appearance as they look alot more costly and older than they actually are. As stated as the end stain was slightly darker I also used it on my side board top go create a form of visual match and room tie in.

Good coverage, nice colour

I bought the English Oak because I wanted the stain to be a dark brown painted on the coffee table, and it was perfect!

Not bad but unfortunately it doesn't stain as good as it says on the bottle used a full bottle on tripod lamp to get the right colour.

Beautiful finish!I have created a D.I.Y desk for my office using old scaffolding boards and this stain, the finish is still the same as when applied 5 months ago! Took just a couple coats and dried evenly!

I’m not convinced this is a light oak colour but i’m happy with it anyway. The stain was easy to use and dried quickly. Hoping it lasts.
