Wood Grain Visibility

Customers have mixed opinions regarding the wood grain visibility of this Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain. While some are pleased that they can still see the wood grain, others find it leaves a grayish tint on their projects and does not effectively remove red undertones from finished wood.

Highlights

Quality


Good coverage, easy clean up, being water base, no smell


It's perfect for what i use it for, which is building 1/12 scale wood items, such as rc boats, dollhouse furniture, etc.


Goes on very dark, even when wiping excess immediately instead of waiting up to 5 minutes.


This is actually not a paint, its more like a polishing agent.

Price


The amazon prices are reasonable compared to local stores, and the color selection / availability was decent.


I'm sure you could purchase this at a hardware store or lowes for much cheaper, but it's convenient.

Shipping


Would buy again, arrived on time and as described.


And it was shipped with some extra clips to ensure that the lid stays out during shipping

Packaging/appearance


I redid an old beat-up antique desk, and the color came out beautiful.


That one came sealed in a plastic bag, and there were dried stains around the lid.

Competitiveness


I've always used varathane products, and this is another great one.
