Furniture Clinic Wood Stain | Water Based | Fast Drying, Low Odor, & Non-Toxic | Multiple Finishes | for Indoor & Outdoor Furniture and More | Mahogany(8.5oz / 250ml)

I recommend this product it works well and I would for sure buy again I wanted a natural wood look for this shelf without the harsh chemicals. I used 320 and 400 grit sand paper to prepare the board. The full link of the board photo is right after I finished the application, the rest it’s been a few hours I am going to see what happens as time goes along for the next 24 hrs and I am waiting on the varnish to complete the look. I can say the size of the bottle size did this 1x12x12 with some left over although this is one coat of your looking for a light/ happy medium natural wood color 1 coat I believe if I put another coat on it would be darker but this color works for my project. It’s easy to clean up because it’s water based. I will say that the product came with a seal over the cap and on top but the bottle did have something in the side and the position did remove some wording from the direction side. Looking for a light/medium wood color this is the color and the finish color is wonderful, and this size bottle will give you enough for small projects. I would buy this again if I needed another board colored or stained and I am sure if this product is this gorgeous the others will be too.

It seemed a little fishy at first, but turned out great! So dang easy to use, way faster than any other stain I have worked with!

Did the job. No issues. Dried pretty quickly no dripping

The color was accurate and easy to work with. No smell which is a big plus. However, this is NOT for outdoor use as stated. It is water based and will not survive the outdoors. I was using mine for indoors so it was fine. But if you need something for outdoors, purchase something oil based.

Redid all touchups

There's no way I got anywhere close to the project coverage stated on the bottle which was 32 sq ft for 250ml. Actual coverage was about one forth or less of this advertised amount. i.e. I only got about 8 sq ft. for just one coat. Also,the density of the stain color was very weak. In order to get a good dark even stain coverage, using their slate color, required multiple coats. For my purpose I also found the bottle to be inconvenient to use. However, I suppose it depends on how you are applying it. Granted, I used this on a previously unfinished cabinet door. I suspect coverage projection could be greater if it were used on previously finished/sealed piece of furniture that only required touch up. All in all I do not recommend this product. The decreased coverage rate and the lack of density requiring multiple coats made this product a lot costlier to use than similar products I have used in the past.

I started by using a wax wash remover on an old pine filing cabinet, then applied roughly 1.6 bottles of black stain to achieve the finish. It took about six applications spread over a week, but the result turned out great with a clean, even look. The product has no noticeable odor, and when a small amount spilled on the carpet, it cleaned up easily with just soap and water. I would recommend wearing gloves during use. I applied the stain with a washcloth, and noticed that areas I hadn’t cleaned thoroughly required extra work. For the best results, I recommend making sure the surface is well-prepared and free of wax buildup before applying the stain.

I bought this product based on reviews and I didn’t want to drive to a big box store. I do a lot of wood work and refinish furniture. This product is for beginners. First the product is water based and very thin. Dries quickly with no smell. I have 4 coats on my boards to get them to an oak color. I did use a rag so most of it was soaked up in that rag. The second shelf, I will use a brush to see if I can get more color with less coats. It will need a top coat to match the bourbon sign going across the front. In the future, I will be using a name brand that I am familiar with. Clean up was a breeze. Came off easily from the glass bowl I was using.
