Varathane 225248H Oil-Based One Step Stain + Poly, Quart, Cabernet

I love this stuff. I actually wipe it on and let it dry. Covers scratches and scrapes on my wood cabinets. Also sanded a small round table and brushed it on. You have to be sure to let it dry completely before adding another coat or it streaks.

After reading the reviews and looking at various products, I decided to give this one a try. It seemed like it would be simple and easy to just spray on this wood stain and - presto! - my furniture would be refinished. Unfortunately, this was too much to ask. There are a number of problems with this product.- I shook the bottle for one minute, as instructed, but the spray can spurted globs of varnish onto the furniture. (This didn't happen during my test on some spare wood. It only happened when I was spraying on the furniture.) I tried to wipe it off, but that just made it look streaky and uneven.- It is practically impossible to get an even coat with the spray can. No matter how hard I tried to spray evenly back and forth, there were places that ended up lighter and some darker.- Even though the can said that this product was made to use indoors, DO NOT USE IT INSIDE!! This was such a mistake. The spray went everywhere. Even with a tarp and newspapers on the floor and everywhere I thought the paint might reach, it still managed to coat everything in a sticky, thin layer of paint. I was able to get it off with a mixture of vinegar and water on a paper towel, which I rubbed over everything.- The fumes are dangerous and you don't want them in your house (read the bottle). My air conditioner pumped the fumes throughout our house. Not good. Also, even when I was wearing a heavy-duty breathing mask, I could still smell the varnish as I was spraying. It produces very strong fumes.It would have been so much easier to go get a bucket of stain/varnish and paint it on.If you are considering this product with the idea that it would be easier than the traditional methods of painting varnish on furniture, just don't do it. Period.I got a refund for this product, but I have a night stand and two dressers that are ruined because of it.

Increíble que con una sola lata cubrí lo que estaba pintando y lo mejor que el color fue perfecto porque ni se nota que cubrí todo y ahora queda protegido

The standard nozzle it comes with is the wrong nozzle, and it clogged on the first spray. Luckily, I had a wide spray cap/nozzle used for graffiti paint and it worked like a charm, no clogging.The one can covered my entire easel project with one coat on some parts and two coats on others.It dried in a matter of minutes in the sun, and the color is a nice pinkish tan.

Covers well and dries quick.

great product used on toy box wood project and golf display cabinet projects wonderful to use and nice finish

I purchased this as a quick means to stain some wood and seal it. With that being said, the product does put a light stain on the wood, and it does provide a sealant for it. One huge drawback is the nozzle clogs and it stopped spraying. I had to purchase additional spray nozzles in order to finish my project. If they would change the type of spray nozzle they have on the can I think it would be very good.

Luckily, I was only using this to seal the underside of a table top. This left spots of finish splattered all over. As I was spraying, I was noticing large deposits. Maybe it was too humid, or condensation? Not even sure how to explain it, but I was not over-spraying. It just came out in spurts…I shook can as directed… as I said, if it was the finished side, I would have been upset bc I would have had to sand the piece down all pver again.
