The colour was nice and the rain beaded up on the wood after protecting it with this stain. So, I am quite happy with this product.

Questions

1 - 10 of 11 Questions

Q: Would I be able to use this on my cupboards that are looking a little worse for wear. They are standard early 90s plyboard cabinets.

4 years ago
3 Answers
  • A: Hi Onlyanichols, You would have to remove all previous coatings in order to apply our Varathane Ultimate Wood Stain to your plyboard cabinets. Remove any existing finishes with sandpaper or stripper. Prepare bare wood for staining by sanding in the direction of the grain. Begin with #120 grit sandpaper and progress through to #220 grits. Before staining, remove all sanding dust, dirt, grease or glue with a vacuum, or clean rag dampened with mineral spirits. Be sure to test your stain to verify the desired colour. Apply the stain in an inconspicuous area.

  • A: Yes, the Ultimate Stain can be used on a wood floor that has been stripped back to bare wood. Once applied, it will need to be protected with a clear floor finish like a Varathane Professional oil-based finish.

Q: will this actually turn light color wood into a dark espresso color with a can of this ? I want to stain my wood kitchen table, because it was my dads and he passed away and I'd like to make it a dark espresso .. I tried "miniwax" (a yellow can) of dark stain and it barley made a change

7 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: The Varathane Ultimate Wood Stain is our most dense stain but it is semi-transparent, which means the color of the wood it's applied to will inform the final color. Make sure you've sanded the table down to bare wood, and test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure you are satisfied with the color.
