What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the water-based wood stain for its ease of use, beautiful color options, and professional-looking finish. Most highlight low odor, quick drying, and soap-and-water cleanup as major advantages, with many noting it brings out natural wood grain beautifully. However, some report challenges achieving even coverage, citing fast drying times that make wiping difficult on larger surfaces, occasionally resulting in blotchiness. Despite these application difficulties, most customers find the color quality and cleanup benefits outweigh the learning curve and recommend it for future projects.

Cool looking effect
Would RecommendLove the way this effect looks. Especially after it has aged a bit. Only issue is consistency between different cans. Definitely can tell they are different even though they were stirred and applied the same.

Fantastic Stain!

Our delightful “new” table
Would RecommendWe refinished our kitchen table and used this product. Turned out beautifully! Application was smooth, each coating was absorbed well, drying time is acceptable and the grain, color richness and surface shine all a delight to behold

Very difficult!!
Would Not RecommendUsed the black stain and was very difficult to to get even without start stop areas. Dries as fast as putting on so when wiping off leave start and stop lines, had to resend and work with 2 people applying and trying to wiping to consistent finish, then sanded twice after with steel wool to even out finish. thick like pudding and dries before able to wipe evenly!!

Great coverage for a stain
Would RecommendFirst time using a semi transparent kind of stain. Almost applies like paint but has a much more consistent coverage across the piece of lumber. A stain sponge worked great with this product and a separate wiping of the product wasnt necessary. Good stuff.

Nice result, learning curve needed
Would RecommendI didn’t note how orange my oak cabinets looked in my 1990s bathroom until I painted it green. This product isn’t too hard to use, however make sure you read the labels instructions and have plenty of extra rags or tshirt scraps available for wiping and do small sections at once. Perfect effect to tone down the orange but retain the natural wood look!
Looks very good.
Wanted to stain the wood boards I had also purchased so they blended in more.
