Enhance the natural grain of your wood with Varathane Premium Oil-Based Interior Wood Stain in Chestnut. This penetrating stain uses a soya-oil base and premium pigments to create rich, translucent color for interior furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, floors and paneling. The 8 fl. oz. half-pint can is convenient for smaller projects and touch-ups. Apply to properly prepared bare wood with a brush or lint-free cloth, allow 5–10 minutes for penetration, then wipe away the excess in the direction of the grain before it dries. Use a wood conditioner on woods prone to uneven absorption, and test the color in an inconspicuous area first. Under recommended conditions, the stain dries to the touch in 1–2 hours and can be recoated after 2 hours. For lasting protection, allow at least 8 hours before applying an oil-based clear finish or 24 hours before a water-based finish; cooler or more humid conditions require additional drying time.
