Rust-oleum 347105 Varathane Charred Wood Accelerator Stain

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 347105 Varathane Charred Wood Accelerator Stain is a water-based wood treatment that creates a weathered, aged, or charred appearance on bare or untreated wood surfaces. It works by chemically reacting with the natural tannins and compounds in the wood grain, producing a unique result that varies by wood species. The low-odor, water-based formula is applied with a synthetic bristle or foam brush. This product is intended for interior use only and is not approved for outdoor surfaces. The 1-quart container weighs 4.375 pounds.

This stain accelerator is used by finish carpenters, woodworkers, and interior trim contractors who need to replicate the look of naturally aged or fire-charred wood without extended weathering time. It is suited for bare or untreated interior wood surfaces including furniture, cabinetry, decorative panels, and accent walls. Because the final appearance depends on wood species and grain density, testing on a sample piece before full application is standard practice. It is not formulated for use on exterior surfaces or previously finished wood.
