Rust-oleum 262024 Varathane Fast Dry Wood Stain 0.5 Pint

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 262024 is a premium oil-based interior wood stain from the Varathane Fast Dry line, formulated for professionals and skilled tradespeople who need reliable, consistent color in a single coat. Tinted in Early American, this stain penetrates wood fibers to deliver rich, even tone on furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, floors, and paneling. The fast-dry formula reaches a dry-to-touch state in approximately 1 hour, reducing project downtime and allowing follow-up coats or topcoats to be applied the same day. Sold in a 0.5-pint unit, it is well-suited for smaller jobs, touch-up work, or color-matching before committing to larger quantities.

This stain is designed for all interior wood surfaces in residential settings. Typical applications include cabinet refinishing, furniture restoration, millwork staining, and floor touch-up work. The Early American tone is a warm mid-brown commonly specified on oak, pine, and similar domestic hardwoods and softwoods. Its oil-based chemistry provides good open time for wiping and blending, making it practical for hand-application by brush, foam applicator, or rag. Carpenters, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, and experienced DIYers are the primary users.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finish carpenters, cabinet installers, or flooring professionals working on interior wood surfaces. Ensure the work area is well-ventilated before applying any oil-based stain, as vapors can accumulate in enclosed spaces. Sand the wood surface to the appropriate grit and remove all dust before staining.
