Littlefair's Wood Stain Water-Based - (Light Oak) – Non-Toxic, Eco-Friendly & Quick Drying - Easy-to-Apply, Concentrated Formula for All Wood Types – 250ml

​I recently used the Little Fairs Water Based Woostain for a few DIY projects around the house, and I'm very happy with the results. I had a lot of questions about application, so I'll try to provide a detailed review for others.​First off, the colors are beautiful and rich. I used the it on some shelves and it gave them a really classic, deep wood look without being overly dark. The stain itself is low-odor, which is a massive plus if you're working indoors. It also dries quite quickly, so you can do multiple coats in one day.​Now for the "be prepared" part: this is a water-based stain, so it's a bit different to work with than traditional oil-based ones. It can raise the grain of the wood, so you'll want to do a very light sanding after the first coat. I also found that a good quality foam brush worked best for application to avoid streaks. It absorbs very quickly, so you need to work in small sections and wipe away the excess within a minute or two. Don't let it sit too long!​Overall, I highly recommend this stain, especially if you're looking for a low-odor, quick-drying option. Just be sure to do a test patch first and get your application technique down. The end result is beautiful and long-lasting. I'll definitely be buying more for future projects.

This is by far the best stain I have used so far.I applied this with a sponge brush and it gave outstanding results. It is so easy to apply and re - coat.I have never used a stain that is so forgiving in respect to the application, brush directions and going over it again when it is still wet make no difference, when it dries and it does so very quickly it leaves an unblemished uniform finish.I was staining light oak to black and this took a lot of coats to achieve the shade of black I wanted, but I didn’t find this a problem as the coats went on so easily and dries quickly between coats.Unlike other stains i have used you can literally go over areas that you have just stained and it doesn’t matter at all, it just soaks into the wood leaving a perfect finish. When using the foam brush I noticed it left a few tiny bubbles in some areas, so I went over the area again while still wet, but it still left a couple behind. I decided to leave them to see what it looked like when dry. It dried to a perfect finish. I thoroughly recommend this product and will purchase again.

Decent product, good value for money, good finish, seems to be water resistant.

Amazing dye. Leaves the grains visible and the colour is sublime. Very easy to apply and is also idiot proof so don’t worry about not getting even spread, it dries all evenly. Best applying using a brush rather than sponge. Definitely purchasing more.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Really impressed with this stain! It brought out the grain beautifully and dried quickly with very little smell. Easy to clean up and perfect for indoor projects. I used “Medium Oak” on pine l, the color was rich and even. Best results with a foam applicator. Will definitely use again!

This colour is not what is advertised, looks like the Driftwood Grey wood stain they advertised, was put straight over wood that had an orange tint to it.I used this and applied 2 coats as the first came out a little streaky, (used a paintbrush). I applied this colour straight over white, and also the cabinet was rubbed down etc before hand.Not true to the colour advertised, but all in all I like the colour and will stick with it.

Bought this to stain a picture frame, excellent stuff ( I only bought a tester as I. Didn’t need much ) but would definitely recommend it

Excellent product, I found using sponge brush with 3 applications whilst wet was better than allowing each coat to dry. Th colour was richer and used a liquid beeswax as opposed to hard wax. Wood type was Beech ply.
