Rust-Oleum Varathane 307414 Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain, Quart, Barn Red

One kind of thin but great color stain.

worked for me, good coverage and shading of red, I used it on a bass guitar body

I used this stain to build a custom made bench..I absolutely loved how the color turned out on my project..It was exactly what I was searching for..Great color

Covers well. It stinks horribly! Took 2-3 days for the smell to subside. No joke, sick to your stomach/headache kinda smell.

Great product. Covers pine wood easily with miminal amount on applicator. Dries fast. Add polyurethane to your project for an additional wow from your clients.

Goes a long way, applied it with a rag and looks great with just one coat. Would have taken close to a half gal of paint for the job I had, but it only took a half Quart of stain. Great product.

I provided photos of the test wood I used. I dipped a corner of a paper towel into the stain, and then applied it to the bottom right corner. Then, instead of wiping away the excess, I tried to spread it as far as it would go. The first photo, the lighter one, is pretty impressive coverage. Obviously, if I was actually staining something, I would apply more stain to the lighter areas.The other photo is the second coat, applied the same way. My conclusion is that a second coat really doesn't change anything it it's applied adequately the first time. I also think the stain looks exceptionally nice.I almost didn't buy this stain for two reasons. One was because it came in a can. I use it for hobby purposes, and one can will last a long time. Well, the stain will last a long time. I don't think the can will, and that's kind of a problem.The other reason is because it's oil based. I'm kind of clumsy, so I prefer using something that doesn't create a catastrophe if I accidentally spill it.I am, however, disappointed at the color. That's called "barn red". It seems more like a light cherry.

Does the job as expected.
