Varathane 243867 Oil-Based One Step Stain + Poly Spray, 12 oz, Red Mahogany

After reading the reviews and looking at various products, I decided to give this one a try. It seemed like it would be simple and easy to just spray on this wood stain and - presto! - my furniture would be refinished. Unfortunately, this was too much to ask. There are a number of problems with this product.- I shook the bottle for one minute, as instructed, but the spray can spurted globs of varnish onto the furniture. (This didn't happen during my test on some spare wood. It only happened when I was spraying on the furniture.) I tried to wipe it off, but that just made it look streaky and uneven.- It is practically impossible to get an even coat with the spray can. No matter how hard I tried to spray evenly back and forth, there were places that ended up lighter and some darker.- Even though the can said that this product was made to use indoors, DO NOT USE IT INSIDE!! This was such a mistake. The spray went everywhere. Even with a tarp and newspapers on the floor and everywhere I thought the paint might reach, it still managed to coat everything in a sticky, thin layer of paint. I was able to get it off with a mixture of vinegar and water on a paper towel, which I rubbed over everything.- The fumes are dangerous and you don't want them in your house (read the bottle). My air conditioner pumped the fumes throughout our house. Not good. Also, even when I was wearing a heavy-duty breathing mask, I could still smell the varnish as I was spraying. It produces very strong fumes.It would have been so much easier to go get a bucket of stain/varnish and paint it on.If you are considering this product with the idea that it would be easier than the traditional methods of painting varnish on furniture, just don't do it. Period.I got a refund for this product, but I have a night stand and two dressers that are ruined because of it.

I think this product is awesome! Yes, the nozzle did not work. I had to take a nozzle off a can of rustoleum lacquer, and once I got the can to work viola! It's very pretty.

Bought this to repaint my dresser and it left it good as new!

I had stored them a month before I used them - all cans were unusable. none would spray, took off the tips, cleaned them and only a splatter then nothing.

I'd never buy it again. It's not bad but the web site description was incomplete and what I got wasn't what I thought I'd get. I'm not saying they misrepresented the product. It's just that they left out enough information and I was gullible enough that "they got me." It is just a spray on poly that has some color to it. The word "stain" is misleading.

Similar to use as any other spray Paint from a can. The dry time was a little longer than I was expecting, but not a big deal. I would certainly use this again.

Picked up a wood laminate desk from the buy nothing project in my area. Originally it was a honey pine finish. Knowing wood laminate is slightly more fragile than solid wood, my refinishing strategy was limited. After a light sanding, I used this in a mahogany and this desk is now perfect! Great verathane spray!

Just stop reading reviews and buy it already. It’s amazing. I’ll never regular paintbrush stain again
