## Description

Product Description Varathane Less Mess Wood Stain is a 2 in 1 stain and applicator product that provides fast, easy, rich color without the mess of using wood stain. The double layered sponge tip allows for greater color control and easy application experience, without any of the mess of staining. Press the tip down onto the surface, squeeze the bottle, and let the wood stain flow onto the surface. Directions 1. Remove the wood stain from its packaging. 2. Press the tip down onto the wood surface. 3. Squeeze the bottle to allow the wood stain to flow onto the surface. 4. Spread the wood stain evenly across the wood surface. 5. Allow the wood stain to dry. 6. Apply additional coats as needed to achieve the desired color intensity. 7. Clean up any spills or messes with soap and water. 8. Wipe any excess stain off in the direction of the wood grain. Do not let the stain dry before wiping excess.

Review: I've used these to cover up scratches from pet nails on our old hardwood floors. The golden oak is perfect for our orangish-brown stained cypress floors and it dries really fast. I find that the spongy top applicator does wear down quickly with friction, but nothing some paper towels can't replace. I encourage folks to use gloves if you don't want to stain your fingers, but I have not had any issues with stain transfer on socks or pet paws after application. As far as I know, there isn't any real odor and it's easy enough to use on small sections.
Review: Excellent product, price and delivery. Thank you and God Bless.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this allow me to restain a tabletop? I realize that I may need more than one?**
A: Yes it should , especially if it's bare wood . You most certainly will need more than one . If it is a complete table top you may want to think about a small can of stain .

**Q: Does this require a top coat after use?**
A: I don't think it needs anything else, it dries with a soft glossy appearance.  The directions do not anything about needing a top coat.

**Q: if being used on drink coaster, would i need to apply a sealer over this stain?**
A: It has verithane in it , but when I used it I did add  few coats of polyurethane.

**Q: Need to varnish after application?**
A: Instructions do not indicate needing anything further. Very nice stain with applicator. Dries with a soft gloss.

*by M***L on 30 March 2025*

Great idea, but no so good design. For one the sponge is kind of crap, should make it as a replaceable one, the sponge fell apart in no time, the stain wasn't consistent, the sponge didnt seem to get my on it as I result I had to be a little heavier on it. Glad I was only using it on some wood for laser cutting and nothing valuable.
