1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for reaching out, Dana. If wanting a matte finish over Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain or other stained wood surfaces, we recommend Rust-Oleum Varathane Ultimate Water-Based Polyurethane in Matte instead. The Rust-Oleum Chalked Clear is intended for use over our Chalked line of paints. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-qt-Clear-Matte-Water-Based-Interior-Polyurethane-262074/305587650 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

              A:  Let's see if we can help. The amount of coats of Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain depends on the porosity of your wood. Since this stain is a penetrating product too many coats can fill the pores of the wood and leave a tacky finish on the surface. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
