Varathane Less Mess Wood Stain and Applicator, 4 oz, Dark Walnut

I've used these to cover up scratches from pet nails on our old hardwood floors. The golden oak is perfect for our orangish-brown stained cypress floors and it dries really fast. I find that the spongy top applicator does wear down quickly with friction, but nothing some paper towels can't replace. I encourage folks to use gloves if you don't want to stain your fingers, but I have not had any issues with stain transfer on socks or pet paws after application. As far as I know, there isn't any real odor and it's easy enough to use on small sections.

Excellent product, price and delivery. Thank you and God Bless.

Great idea, but no so good design. For one the sponge is kind of crap, should make it as a replaceable one, the sponge fell apart in no time, the stain wasn't consistent, the sponge didnt seem to get my on it as I result I had to be a little heavier on it. Glad I was only using it on some wood for laser cutting and nothing valuable.

It has taken multiple coats of this product to stain an old clock case, but there are still streaks from the grain of the wood. I expected better coverage. I was intrigued by the ease of use concept, but will be going back to the old fashioned way to finish staining the case.

Used on some scratches on dark hardwood floor. Filled in scratches beautifully! Highly recommend. Easy to use.
