Questions & Answers
Can you use this on a exterior door
Great question, Debbie! If using Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain on exterior doors, it must be topcoated with a spar urethane. For a crystal clear finish, we recommend Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Spar Urethane. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-qt-Clear-Semi-Gloss-Water-Based-Outdoor-Spar-Urethane-250141H/100164669 Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
Does this stain have polyurethane in it
Happy to help, Brian! Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain is a traditional penetrating wood stain and does not contain polyurethane. It is designed to add color to the wood and highlight the grain. For protection and durability, a separate topcoat, such as a polyurethane, should be applied after the stain has dried, according to the label directions. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 16

water base varathane can be used on this oil stain?
Happy to help, Lala! Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain is an oil-based stain, and once it has been applied and allowed to dry for 24 hours, it can be top-coated with a Varathane water-based finish. For best results, be sure to remove all excess stain and allow the stain to dry completely before applying the water-based topcoat. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 16
Do I need to sand before staining
Happy to help. When applying Rust-Oleum Varathane Classic Wood Stain to bare wood sanding is not required. If the surface has a previous finish then it must be sanded to remove the previous finish and allow for proper penetration of the stain. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14
