Rust-oleum 262003 Varathane Fast Dry Wood Stain Golden Oak 1 Qt

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 262003 is a urethane modified alkyd interior wood stain in a Golden Oak finish, sold in a 1-quart container. It is formulated for trade and professional use on interior wood surfaces where a fast turnaround is required. The stain uses nano pigments to intensify color clarity and bring out natural wood grain without requiring a separate wood conditioner. One coat achieves the target color and dries in approximately 1 hour, making it practical for multi-step finishing schedules. Coverage reaches 275 square feet per quart, reducing material waste on larger jobs. Licensed painters, finish carpenters, and cabinet installers are the primary installers.

This stain is designed for a wide range of interior wood applications. Suitable surfaces include furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, and floors. The no-conditioner formula simplifies the prep process on most interior wood species, streamlining workflow on both residential and light commercial projects. The Golden Oak tone works well on natural and light-toned wood substrates where a warm, mid-range color is specified.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finish carpenters, painters, or cabinet refinishers working in interior environments. Ensure the work area is adequately ventilated before and during application, as alkyd-based products produce solvent vapors. Wood surfaces should be clean, dry, and sanded to the appropriate grit before staining. Follow all local VOC regulations and dispose of used rags and materials in accordance with applicable fire and hazardous-waste codes, as oil-modified finishing products present a spontaneous combustion risk if rags are improperly stored.
