Customer Reviews for ZAR 1 qt. Semi-Transparent 120 Premium Teak Oil-Based Multi-Surface Interior Wood Stain

Used ZAR translucent wiping stain+poly for refinishing the natural woodwork in our house, circa 1930 and the late 1990's. Found right blend of Zar colors to match, and also correct adjacent dissimilar finish colors. Stripping, bleaching, etc. was impractical. Had used a competitive brand in the past, but the Zar "Multi-Surface" was far superior.

The final color was a little more red than chocolate

Our painting contractor blended two shades to perfectly match the look of 50-year-old white pine for an addition to our house. I had tried all sorts of stains from the big manufacturers but none came close. Zar makes a clearly superior product.

I've been using the mocha color to build and refurbish wood products around our home to match our floors and favorite antiques- this stuff is great! Thicker than most stains, so I love that it doesn't fling drops everywhere when covering less-porous surfaces; I just have to wipe a few times until I get the right look. I usually pour it into a splash of mineral spirits for raw woods and that applies quickly and easily. Prefer old white t-shirts or rags to paper towels or shop towels if you're new to staining.

Aged bourbon replaced wallnut...not even close to walnut...looks like coffee with lots of cream....and little pigment...cant use....

My solid and plywood all turned out the same deep dark walnut colour. Beautiful

Love the color but it is a pain to get thoroughly mixed.

Great medium brown color on hardwoods.

I’ve been using Zar stain for over 30 years. I’ve never had a problem with spreading or moving stain on projects. If done the right way the finish and look are amazing.

I did wood graining on a steel door, then stained it. It turned out great. We’ll see how it holds up in the weather.

Home depot had Zar rename a chocolate color to Bourbon to sell better. It's a hoals color.

Used to refinish my old furniture and it was so easy to apply and turned out stunning! Would highly recommend!

First time I used this zar stain.Liked how the stain was thick and spread nicely and needed just one coat.

It was exactly the stain I needed.

Love this product. It will blend old pieces to look refreshed or use on brand new to add a variety of colors that are available.

Matches the color of old old base floor poly.

Great color, easy to apply
