What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this water-based wood stain for its ease of application, quick drying time, low odor, and beautiful finish that enhances wood grain. Many report achieving exactly the color they wanted with smooth, professional-grade results even as first-time users. However, a notable group expresses frustration with its short wipe-off window and tendency to sit on the surface rather than penetrate like oil-based stains, leading to blotchy or streaky results on larger projects. Despite these application challenges, most customers find the overall ease and finish quality worthwhile.

tint was not added
When I picked up my stain I opened the can, always open before leaving. They did not add the tint. I ordered tint. unbelievable. (one time they added color to the paint and did not mix it, just a blob of color when I opened it at home and had to go back. I always check now) This is more of a gray color and looks nothing like a acorn. Returned it.
