What Customers Are Saying
The water-based solid stain has a mixed reception. Some users found it easy to apply with good coverage and color, and appreciated the lack of strong fumes and easy water-based cleanup. However, others reported issues with the color not matching expectations, the stain drying too quickly and becoming tacky, and difficulties with tinting. Users may want to test the product first before using it on a larger project to ensure the desired results.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Worst stain-basically paint
I’ve stained many things in my life and this is by far the worst stain I’ve ever bought. It’s basically just paint. It says to wipe it off after two minutes, good luck it just sticks and is literally like wiping paint off. It doesn’t work. It is ruined a table that I was working on. Now I have to sand it all off and start over.
Not a true stain.
This does not apply or penetrate like a traditional stain. It is very thick and sits on the surface like a paint. Work time is too short to get consistent even coverage. Must work in small areas to accommodate and ensure you don't end up with application lines/marks in the finished product.
