Rust-oleum 211797 Varathane Wood Stain Light Cherry 0.5 Pt

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 211797 is a Varathane premium oil-based interior wood stain formulated for deeper penetration and clearer color reproduction on bare or stripped wood surfaces. Available in a Light Cherry tone, this half-pint unit is suited for small-scale finishing work including touch-ups, sample matching, and trim detailing. The oil-based formula carries pigment into the wood grain rather than sitting on the surface, resulting in richer color development. Finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and experienced DIYers apply this stain as a base step before topcoating with a compatible varnish or polyurethane.

This stain is designed for interior applications across a wide range of wood substrates. Typical use cases include furniture refinishing, cabinet restorations, door and trim finishing, flooring accent work, and wall paneling projects. The half-pint size is well suited for smaller jobs or for trialing a color on a new project before committing to a larger quantity. It performs on both hardwoods and softwoods in residential and light commercial interior settings.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finish carpenters, painters, or experienced woodworkers using a natural-bristle brush, foam applicator, or lint-free cloth. Wood surfaces must be clean, dry, and sanded before stain application. Ensure adequate ventilation when working with oil-based products in enclosed spaces.
