GRAIN GUARD Wood Stain Water Based | Golden Oak | 500ml | Interior Furniture Stain | Light & Dark Stains | Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic Wood Dye | Easy Application | Quick Dry & Low Odour

I made a set of drawers from pallet wood and decided to stain them. Picked this because the price was decent but I didn't have high hopes, as pine is notoriously difficult to get a good even stain on. My initial test pieces were ok, I had used a rag to apply 3 coats, and liked how it looked so took the plunge. But as I had 30 drawers to stain I decided it would be quicker to tip all the stain into a tub, and dunk each drawer and wipe off the excess. Well the results are brilliant, I'm blown away by how they look. I went for the dark walnut stain and if you didn't know any better you probably wouldn't guess it was pine. It stained it nice and evenly, and one dunk gave a nice rich colour so further coats were not needed. Would absolutely buy this again. *If it helps anyone, I sanded to 180 grit first. I did however forget to raise the grain and do a final sand before staining, so as this is a water based stain, it has left some grain texture but it works for me so I don't mind, but something to be aware of

Really nice colour that goes on easily and dries fast. It's got no odour and you get a lot so it's fantastic value for the quality.

Waiting for results but looks ok

Bought a much more expensive top oil which was awful and left the table with a white sheen, got this instead and it did exactly what I wanted it to do. New table now looks lovely and at a third of the price. Goes on easily and dries quickly, leaving just the colour and no white sheen behind.

Does the job well.

Not bad but unfortunately it doesn't stain as good as it says on the bottle used a full bottle on tripod lamp to get the right colour.

This product is amazing very easy to put onto the wood and the final look is fantastic. When my wooden floor boards are looking like they need help its always the wood stain that I go to.

Quite good need to persevere
