Varathane Premium Fast Dry Barn Red Wood Stain

Just make sure you have an even coat you can get uneven stain patterns. Overall this stuff worked very fast with my poplar desktop and shows a deep red. I even stained over white stain and it had no issue showing a deep color. The red has not reacted to polycrlic so I wouldn't worry too much about the yellowing effect that has with red mahogany. I actually was using it to paint watercolor-like pictures in stain on my wood and it did a wonderful job. If you decide to do something like this be careful how you wipe it away unless you really want a smearing effect.

Works precisely as advertised. Rich color, one coat using brush or rag on redwood.

Fabulous product dried quickly great coverage two coats minimal prep definitely would purchase and use again

This is very red!

This product is fantastic if you want to make boards look like barn boards. It covers great and goes a long way with just a little.

I provided photos of the test wood I used. I dipped a corner of a paper towel into the stain, and then applied it to the bottom right corner. Then, instead of wiping away the excess, I tried to spread it as far as it would go. The first photo, the lighter one, is pretty impressive coverage. Obviously, if I was actually staining something, I would apply more stain to the lighter areas. The other photo is the second coat, applied the same way. My conclusion is that a second coat really doesn't change anything it it's applied adequately the first time. I also think the stain looks exceptionally nice. I almost didn't buy this stain for two reasons. One was because it came in a can. I use it for hobby purposes, and one can will last a long time. Well, the stain will last a long time. I don't think the can will, and that's kind of a problem. The other reason is because it's oil based. I'm kind of clumsy, so I prefer using something that doesn't create a catastrophe if I accidentally spill it. I am, however, disappointed at the color. That's called "barn red". It seems more like a light cherry.

Beautiful and is red barn for sure! Used it for a wood sculpture that reminded me of a cardinal!

I find these stains to be a great value. They last and are affordable. Can’t go wrong

It's good quality easy to use. But the color is not the same as a description

Good, used it on plywood, looks fine.
