Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain, Half Pint, Traditional Cherry

I recently used Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood for a quick furniture refresh and I'm thrilled with how it performed. It goes on smooth, dries significantly faster than my old polyurethane, and resists drips beautifully. The finish is crystal-clear and durable—no tackiness or streaks even overnight. Whether for tables, trim, or DIY pieces, this product delivers a professional-grade result in record time. Highly recommend for anyone wanting speed without sacrificing quality!

This Varathane Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain in Dark Walnut is absolutely amazing. It gives wood a rich, deep color and dries super fast, just like the label says. I used it on a DIY furniture project and the results were professional-looking with minimal effort.No wonder it’s been bought over 5,000 times – it really works! A little goes a long way, and the half-pint size was perfect for my project. I’ll definitely be buying more for future projects. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality stain with fast results.

Sizing was smaller but did the job with the wood. Color stands out now and not rusty, made the handles look new. Not heavy and the quality is good and easy to put on without any messes.

Exactly the color I wanted. Took a really long time to dry. Over 24 hours and the color was still rubbing off onto my hands when I touched the wood. Used on fir kiln dried lumber.

Used this today for first time. Painted it on, left for several minutes, then wiped it off. WOW! Stained the wood as if white washed or even as if driftwood. Really like the results. Very easy to use. Clean up is of an oilbased type. Value, great.

Works great. It takes time to dry, but with this stain and another paint I made so much white plastic decor look like real wood!

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

Great stain, the color is amazing! I splashed a little on tile flooring, and it wiped up 20 mins later with dish soap.
