Childhood DresserBack to Stain and Protect
Frame That DrawingWe borrowed an old dresser that had been in storage for the past few years. It originally belonged to the owner's grandmother, but had been put in storage when the owner moved. She thought that she just didn't have the time to refinish it and wasn't really sure that it was worth the effort. Now the dresser is a show piece in her home and the happy owner is talking about refinishing other forgotten treasures.

Varathane Premium StainVarathane Premium Wood Stain

Varathane premium wood stains are made using a proprietary soya-oil base formula for superior penetration and grain enhancement of your wood project. Unlike the competition, Varathane uses premium translucent pigments for truer, cleaner colors that penetrate deep into the wood for long lasting, beautiful color of your stained project.

Our translucent pigments have superior color suspension which means excellent color control and even color coverage. Adding anti-settling ingredients to the formula, mean less stirring of the stain during use. And unlike the competition whose stains often require up to six coats to achieve the color shown on their can, Varathane stain colors can be achieved in just two to three coats. As a result, you have more time to enjoy the finished results of your project, and less time trying to achieve a desired look. It's no wonder Varathane Premium Wood Stains are "Wood's First Choice."

  • Clear Base Formula:
    Varathane Premium Wood Stains are made with clear SOYA oil to provide maximum color clarity and deep penetration which enhances the natural grain appearance.
  • Ultra-Deep Penetration:
    Varathane Premium Wood Stains penetrate up to twice as deep as competitive brands to reveal the beauty of the natural wood grain.
  • Premium Pigments:
    Varathane Premium Wood Stains feature translucent pigments that enhance, not hide, the natural grain detail of the wood.
  • Easy Application:
    Varathane Premium Wood Stains' unique, proprietary anti-settling formula brushes on evenly and does not require constant remixing or stirring.
  • More Color Choices:
    Not just more ready-mix colors, but the right colors -- 24 in all -- including traditional core colors and the latest home decor trends.
