Rust-oleum 262006 Varathane Fast Dry Wood Stain Dark Walnut

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 262006 is a fast-drying, urethane modified alkyd interior wood stain in a Dark Walnut finish, sold in a 1-quart container. Formulated under the Varathane line, it uses nano pigments to intensify color clarity and highlight natural wood grain without requiring a separate wood conditioner. The one-coat formula reaches a dry-to-touch state in approximately 1 hour, making it a practical choice for finishing furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, and interior flooring on a tight schedule. Coverage is rated at 275 square feet per quart. It is applied by finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and experienced DIYers working on interior wood projects.

This stain is suited for residential and light commercial interior applications where a rich dark walnut tone is the target finish. It performs on a variety of bare or lightly sanded interior wood surfaces including hardwood and softwood furniture, built-in cabinetry, entry and interior doors, decorative trim, and wood flooring. The single-coat formula reduces project time compared to multi-coat staining systems, and the nano pigment technology promotes even color penetration across varying wood densities.
