Great for refurbishing
Would RecommendWe bought this to refurbish a thrift store stool that had been painted over and over. With just one coat this brought out the natural colors of the wood and allowed them to really pop.

Great stain and polyurethane sealer all in one.

Covers existing wood stain
Would RecommendWorks well over lightly sanded existing stain. But, it is darker than anticipated. It looks black.
