        What grit sandpaper should be used to prep bare wood for this stain? The instructions state it should be applied to sanded bare wood, but do not specify how fine a grit.

        Answer This Question

        Hi there, thank you for your question. You'll want to use #150-220 fine-grit sandpaper to prepare the bare wood. Have a great day! -Giovanna

          Answer This Question

          Hi NewDigs, thanks for your question. We don't recommend mixing another stain with our Wood Effects Interior Wood Stain as it could affect the performance and finish of the stain. Instead, it's best to choose a different color. Have a great day! -Christina

            Hi Bobby, thank you for your question. As it turns out, our Aged Wood Effects stain only comes in an 8oz. or quart size. Have a great day!

              Is this similar to the Rust-Oleum Chalked Decorative Glaze. The “Aged Glaze” color, or mostly just the structure and way it lays down?

              Answer This Question

              Hi Keaton, thank you for your question. The Interior Wood Stain is different than chalk glaze. I suggest testing it over a small section to ensure that you'll get the results that you expect. Have a great day! -Giovanna

                Can this be used on Formica countertops?
                ByApr 29, 2024
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Hi Brach, thank you for your question. As Formica can make it tricky for coatings to adhere, the surface must be primed with our Bonding Primer to ensure adhesion. With that in mind, we do not recommend applying our Water-Based Aged Wood Effects over primer as that will impact the finish and color. I recommend reaching out to Home Depot for more information about an alternative product that can be applied to Formica and will provide a similar wood-like finish. Have a great day! -Lina

                  The stain was perfect for the false barn beams I am building for a customer ceiling. The rustic brown looks amazing.

                  Used this on our cypress ceiling to create a rustic warm look. Worked great! Diluted 50% and 25% to get variation in boards.

                  Very easy to use
                  I haven’t stained anything in a long time and had a bad experience many years ago. Much to my amazement this product is super easy to apply, gives a great effect and easy to clean up. It gave the pine wood I was using the color I wanted with just 2 coats. Highly recommend.

                    The first coat was too light, the second coat made it slightly darker than I wanted but it was okay. But when I put a CLEAR polyurethane (two coats), it made it much too dark!!! I was very disappointed that a so-called CLEAR finish changed the color, but it will have to do.

                    Love it!
                    I was really impressed with this stain. A little bit went a long way. I used Behr polyurethane as a top coat. It came out way better than I had expected. This was the Rustic Brown, with a single coat. Can’t wait to try the rest of the line.

                      It was very easy to apply and clean up
                      As far as stains go this product is very impressive because of the water based stain, no more nitrile gloves and messy work space. I was able to stain my cabinet inside the house with no odor and it came out beautiful. They recommend a top coat to seal it but not necessary. This product is dry to the touch in minutes and provides a nice even color that shows the grain well.
