Used for Ashley furniture repair
I bought this while I was learning how to do new furniture repair for Ashley furniture projects. I forgot to take a before picture however, I used a combination of this, furniture, markers, and wax Phil as needed. It worked really well. It did take a little bit longer than the instructions said for it to dry, however, that was user error. I decided to do it on a very cold day and dry time changes based on temperature.
Thank you for your feedback

Stain dries super fast, leave it on for 3-5 min then wipe off. I used it on unfinished cabinets and folding bench in laundry room makeover, topped it off with 3 coats of Minwax 63333 Clear Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish in Clear Satin, the results are amazing.

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2023
Omg! Love love love the dark walnut stain! Easy application, and looked amazing on my builder grade bathroom cabinets ! Looks like I bought an expensive new vanity! Sand prior to staining and watch a YouTube so you don’t leave it on too long before wiping like I almost did. Will be using the rest to stain the other cabinets in my other bathrooms, as there is so much left over in this small can! Amazing product and highly recommended! Affordable and beautiful quality.

Very easy to work with. Took a bit longer to dry than the stated 1-2 hrs but then again we live in humid FL. The only disappointment is that it’s much darker/navy blue than the sample swatches available at the store. But overall we’re happy as we could rub off to get the desired look
