Questions & Answers
Can this be applied to plywood
Happy to help, Dann! While Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain can be applied to plywood, the final appearance will be dependent on the condition of the surface, as this stain will still allow the wood grain and pattern to show through. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Do ai need to apply wood conditioner with this product first?
Great question! If applying Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain to a softer wood, such as pine, we do recommend applying a wood conditioner before staining for the best results. We recommend Rust-Oleum Varathane Oil-Based Wood Conditioner. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-8-oz-Wood-Conditioner-342085/305587137 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Can teak oil be applied over dried stain?
Great question, Sandy. Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain and Rust-Oleum Watco Teak Oil are both penetrating products. While Teak Oil can be used after staining the wood, it is key to not flood the pores of the wood and that all excess oil is removed from the surface after letting it dwell for a few minutes. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Watco-1-Quart-Teak-Oil-in-Clear-A67141/100154957 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
Been 3 days and still not dry. What can I do to get it to dry ?
Let's see if we can clear things up, Phil. If Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain has not yet dried after 3 days this likely means not all the excess stain was removed after applying. To remove the remaining excess stain take a rag lightly dampened with mineral spirits and buff the surface. Once all the excess is wiped off the surface it will be able to dry. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
Can this be used on outside exterior wall if the clear spar urthane is point over it for final coat? And if no what exterior stain do you offer that has weathered Oak Color?
James, happy to help! Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain can be applied exterior to wooden surfaces as long as Rust-Oleum Varathane Spar Urethane is applied over as a final coat. Please keep in mind that the Rust-Oleum Varathane Spar Urethane will periodically need reapplication. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-qt-Clear-Satin-Water-Based-Outdoor-Spar-Urethane-250241H/100165652 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
My varathane classic penetrating wood stain is still tacky after 8 plus hours. What am I doing wrong?
Happy to help, Andrea! To ensure the best results and proper drying, it is essential that Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain is applied to bare, sanded wood and that all excess stain is removed shortly after application. Any excess stain left on the surface will leave tacky residue on the surface. To help remove it, we recommend using clean rags and some mineral spirits to help buff it off. If needed, the surface can be lightly sanded, and another coat of stain can be applied. Just make sure to remove all the excess stain from the surface. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
is this a water based stain or an oil based stain
Oil based
This is a great question! Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain is an oil-based stain. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
How long does it need to dry before applying polyurethane
Allow 8 hours before applying oil-based poly and 24 hours before water based poly
We're happy to help, Carlos. Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain can be top coated 2 hours after you finish applying. Be sure all residue has been wiped away before applying the top coat. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
