Rust-oleum 262027 Varathane Fast Dry Wood Stain Traditional Cherry

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 262027 is a urethane modified alkyd interior wood stain in the Varathane Fast Dry line, formulated for trade professionals and skilled finishers who need reliable color results without extra prep steps. This half-pint delivers a Traditional Cherry tone using nano pigment technology that intensifies color clarity and highlights natural wood grain. The single-coat formula dries in 1 hour, eliminating the need for a wood conditioner before application. It is designed for interior wood surfaces and carries a coverage rate of 275 square feet per quart, making it efficient for both small touch-up work and larger finishing projects.

This stain is suited for residential and light commercial interior applications. It performs on a wide range of wood surfaces including furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, and floors. The fast dry time makes it practical for production finishing environments or jobsites where multiple finish coats need to follow the same day. The half-pint size is well suited for sample matching, small repairs, accent pieces, or trim work where a full quart would go to waste.
