Review: What can I say? I love this product. I had a small job to do and I have lung issues and was worried about using a product that was going to irritate my lungs and affect my breathing. ZERO odor in this stain and it covers beautifully and the end result is stunning. Just what I needed and so simple my 9 yr old son was able to help. The colour is a beautiful warm tone, I got Golden Oak, and it suits really well for furniture projects. My husband built a new enclosure for our son's bearded dragon and we wanted to have it work as a furniture element as it is in the family room. We painted the enclosure a charcoal colour and did the front supports in this beautiful stain to offset it and bring it into our home design and colour's. It is perfect. When the entire project is complete I will update with a new picture of the finished project. But if you are hesitating thinking this won't be enough, I suggest you give it a try because honestly this little container goes a long way and it is so easy to use that if feels like cheating. Great item to use with kids DIY projects also. Highly recommend!
Review: The stain itself is good, doesn't have a strong smell, and is easy to clean since it's water-based this bottle was enough for 4 chairs, with some product left. The sponge tip that comes with it on the other hand is very cheap and loses shape almost immediately. The first of 4 chairs I was using this product to stain came out significantly worse than the other 3 because I tried using the original tip rather than just using a sponge (regular cheap sponge).

*by Y***A on 27 July 2024*

This stain is very easy to use and true to colour! Used this on untreated wood coasters to give it a more “antique” look prior to adding family photos onto them and they turned out better than I expected. I do suggest doing this in an open space such as a backyard or patio as there is a slight odour to it that lingers. 10/10 would recommend!
