Rust-oleum 262028 Varathane Fast Dry Wood Stain Black Cherry

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 262028 is a fast-drying, urethane-modified alkyd interior wood stain in a Black Cherry finish, sold in a 0.5-pint unit. Formulated under the Varathane Fast Dry line, it uses nano pigments to intensify color clarity and bring out natural wood grain without requiring a pre-coat wood conditioner. One coat achieves target color and dries in approximately 1 hour, making it a practical choice for professional finish carpenters, cabinet installers, flooring contractors, and skilled DIYers working on interior wood surfaces.

This stain is designed for a wide range of interior wood applications including furniture, cabinetry, doors, trim, and hardwood floors. The 1-coat formula reduces project time significantly on both new installations and refinishing work. Coverage is rated at 275 square feet per quart on smooth interior wood surfaces, making the 0.5-pint size appropriate for smaller jobs, touch-up work, or color sampling before committing to a larger volume.
