Review: Happy With The Results…Just Look! - I used Varathane 381119 Water Based Wood Stain on a table I built, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It went on smoothly, dried fast, and had very little odor, which made it easy to use indoors. The color came out even and clean, and it really brought out the grain in the wood. Overall, it was simple to work with and gave my table a solid, professional-looking finish.
Review: Great product! - Works great and great prices too. Cheaper than priced at the hardware stores. Love that it comes in the small can, so it can be easily used on smaller projects. Highly recommend! Dries almost clear. Has a small tint but much better than other products and water based, so very easy to clean up and won't yellow over time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend on wood floors
*by L***N on August 16, 2025*

This stuff really makes a difference in results. When I don't use it, the stain it's a completely different color and further away from the desired results and color that is depicted on the packaging of the stain. When I don't use this first, the stain came out much darker and patchy. I definitely recommend going the extra mile and using this on your sanded wood first BEFORE applying your stain. It makes a WORLD of difference. In my photo, the left is without using the prestain and the right is with using it. Take the extra time, do the extra work, it is worth it. Don't be like me and try to skip it because you are tired lol now I have to resand that section of floor and redo it all. SIGH.
