A:  Happy to clear things up, Mike! Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stains have a different formulation than our Premium Fast Dry Wood Stains. Because of this, the colors will not be an exact match. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

        A:  We're happy to clear things up, Roger. Once Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain has fully cured for at least 3 days it will no longer off gas any harmful fumes. Be sure to remove all excess stain after allowing it to penetrate for a few minutes, this ensures there is no tacky excess stain on the surface. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

          Answer This Question

          A:  Thank you for reaching out, Cindy. Yes, Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain should be applied with temperatures between 55-90° F. Applying outside these conditions can hinder the curing process and cause the stain to leave a tacky finish. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

            Q:How many coats can be put on? Can I put 4?

            Answer This Question

            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

                Answer This Question

                A:  Thank you for reaching out, Julie. If applying Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain to doors or exterior surfaces we recommend top coating using Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Spar Urethane. If the finish has faded we recommend sanding the surface and reapplying a new coat of the stain. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-qt-Clear-Satin-Water-Based-Outdoor-Spar-Urethane-250241H/100165652 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
