  • Following application, allow 2 hours for weathered wood accelerator to dry
  • For the best protection of your aged surface, use a lacquer topcoat following application
  • Low odor, water-based formula cleans up with soap and water
  • To verify final look, test in an inconspicuous area on your piece prior to applying to entire surface
  • Thoroughly read instructions prior to application for optimal results

Has anyone else used this product on pine? One of the reviews I read says it turns pine purple. I’m wanting to use it on a pine dining table and purple is definitely not the color I’m going for, lol.

Asked by: dan
Yes, this product works on ANY wood. Have used in two products and was delighted with the results. The real advantage is that it oxidizes the wood naturally, which in turn produces a realistic aged wood look.

You can apply as many coats as you want. With each coat, the wood will be darker.

I have a cedar bench that is natural brown and has never been outdoors. I treated it with 1 coat of tung oil 10 years ago. Will this product work to gray the wood? Thank you
Asked by: Jenna
It’s a very very thin water based product and I don’t think it would penetrate the surface of your bench.

1 qt. Interior Aged Wood Accelerator is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 199.

Work fast because it will leave spots if you don't apply it evenly. You can fix any issues pretty easily if that happens (trust me :-)) If you are looking for a rustic look (mimicking reclaimed wood) this may not work like you thought. I thought this would be a good alternative to make my own reclaimed wood look. I followed the instructions but the results were not what I expected. That being said I am very satisfied with the way it turned out. The table top was new red oak. I would definitely try out the product on a scrap piece of wood, sanded or distressed or whatever you intend to do to see how it will work. See pictures : Tabletop: Red Oak finished with Satin poly Coasters: Purple Heart and Hard Maple

Rated 1 out of 5 by from One container worked great, next one turned wood light blue Bought one container for a project & it turned out great, nice weathered gray look on different types of wood. I ran out, so bought another container, I noticed a difference in color and thought maybe it was the wood type, so I tried the small amount I had left in the old container on a scrap piece of the same wood. It wasn't the wood, it was the product. Ruined my project that I now have to redo. Thx varathane. I don't know how they can sell products that are completely inconsistent.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from First container worked great, 2nd container turned wood light blue The first container of this worked great, turned wood a nice weathered gray color. I ran out, so I bought another container. I noticed a color difference right away, I thought maybe it was the wood type that soaked up the product differently, so I used the small amount I had from the first container on a scrap piece of the same wood and nope, not the wood, it was the product. I just dont understand how Varathane can sell such inconsistent products!!

We used this stain for our kitchen walls and backsplash with crisp white cabinets. I like it. Especially against the natural pine ceiling it really pops.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from I'm always looking for new effects for wood finishing, so I thought I'd give the Aged Wood Accele... I'm always looking for new effects for wood finishing, so I thought I'd give the Aged Wood Accelerator a try. The application is simple enough - brush on, wait an hour for the most part. The question is, what's it do? Well, I tried test patches on scraps of white pine, swamp ash and red oak. On the very porous white pine, the effect was pretty much like a weak stain coat - to me it said "brown" instead of "aged." I had higher hopes for the swamp ash, but in truth it was a pretty boring piece of swamp ash. It came out OK. Where it really excelled though, was the red oak - the grain really "popped" and I could really envision it as aged. Probably will take some experimenting to get a great effect (e.g., randomly wiping parts after application).
