    A:  Thank you for reaching out, Joey! Rust-Oleum Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain is not color matched to other brands, and a test application is recommended if trying to match another stain. Please keep in mind, since this is not an opaque stain, the color and condition of the wood will affect the final color of the stain. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

        Answer This Question

        A:  Happy to help. Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain is a high performance stain system enhanced with nano pigment particles, which stains wood more evenly, even soft woods. While wood conditioner is not needed for softer woods like pine and alder, it certainly can be used if preferred. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

                  Q:Can you stain over a different color stain ?

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  Thanks for reaching out, Lynda. Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain can only be applied over bare wood. If the previously stained wood does not have a sealer, this stain can be applied. We recommend first testing in an inconspicuous area to ensure mixing of the two stains will produce the desired color. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6
