Ensure good ventilation during application and drying, especially in humid Indian weather, as it may affect drying times. Keep away from children and open flames. For best results, apply to clean, dry wood and consider a topcoat for added protection. ## How to use 1. Ensure the wood is clean, dry, and free of any old finishes, dust, or grease. Sand the surface smooth with medium-grit sandpaper, followed by fine-grit for a polished finish. Wipe away all dust with a tack cloth or damp rag. — Prepare the Wood Surface 2. Stir the Varathane Premium Wood Stain thoroughly before and during application. Apply a liberal coat using a brush or clean cloth, working in the direction of the wood grain. Wipe off excess stain after 5-10 minutes for a more translucent finish, or leave longer for deeper color. — Apply the Stain 3. The stain dries to the touch in 1-2 hours. Allow at least 2 hours before applying a second coat if a deeper color is desired. Ensure good ventilation, especially in humid Indian weather, as drying times may vary. Allow stain to cure fully before applying a topcoat. — Allow Drying and Recoat 4. Once the stain is completely dry and cured (typically 24 hours), apply a protective topcoat such as polyurethane or varnish for durability and moisture resistance. Follow the topcoat manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times. — Apply Protective Topcoat ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Base | Soya Oil-Based | | Pigments | Premium | | Special Features | Enhanced Wood Grain Detail, Anti-settling formula | | Allergens | May contain irritants | | Application Surface | Interior wood furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, floors, paneling | | Application Method | Brush or cloth (wiping stain) | | Drying Time (Touch) | 1-2 hours | | Recoat Time | 2 hours | | Coverage | Up to 150 sq. ft. per quart | | Cost per use | 150 sq. ft. coverage: ₹15.77 per sq. ft. | | Shelf life after opening | 12 months (typical for oil-based finishes) | | Contraindications | Not for exterior use, not for surfaces requiring food-safe certification, may require topcoat | | Brand | Varathane | | Color | American Walnut | | Finish Type | Oil-Based | | Material | Plastic | | Size | 1 Quart (0.95 L) | | Item Weight | 0.96 kg (2.11 lb) | | Item Dimensions | 10.8 cm x 12.3 cm x 10.5 cm (4.25 in x 5 in x 4.25 in) | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Frequently asked questions ### How to choose the best wood stain for interior projects in India?
