Review: Good and even coverage, easy to yse - Lovely colour
Review: Surprisingly brilliant - I made a set of drawers from pallet wood and decided to stain them. Picked this because the price was decent but I didn't have high hopes, as pine is notoriously difficult to get a good even stain on. My initial test pieces were ok, I had used a rag to apply 3 coats, and liked how it looked so took the plunge. But as I had 30 drawers to stain I decided it would be quicker to tip all the stain into a tub, and dunk each drawer and wipe off the excess. Well the results are brilliant, I'm blown away by how they look. I went for the dark walnut stain and if you didn't know any better you probably wouldn't guess it was pine. It stained it nice and evenly, and one dunk gave a nice rich colour so further coats were not needed. Would absolutely buy this again. *If it helps anyone, I sanded to 180 grit first. I did however forget to raise the grain and do a final sand before staining, so as this is a water based stain, it has left some grain texture but it works for me so I don't mind, but something to be aware of

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to apply and good results.
*by D***P on 22 June 2023*

Applies well using a soft brush or a pad. Found it really easy to get the finish that I wanted and it only needed one coat which saved me time and effort. Only downside is that it is pretty much like painting with water and therefore very easy to spill if you get too carried away. I poured it into some painting tins I have and found myself sloshing it about a bit when I got into the painting zone. Good stuff all the same and I have some left over for another little job. Would buy again.
