Furniture Clinic Wood Stain (Black) – Fast Drying, Highly Concentrated, and Easy-to-Apply Wood Stain for All Indoor & Outdoor Wood – Water Based & Non-Toxic – 5L

First thing it should point out is that: this is a stain. NOT a varnish. There's a few negative reviews complaining about a lack of sheen. It's a stain. It colours the wood and leaves a Matt finish. I used this to stain spruce to make it look like oak for some floating shelves. The stain was easy to use. Very simple to apply with a brush and odour free. It was dry to the touch within 30 minutes. I used boiled linseed oil (made by the same company) to seal and finish and I will use beeswax to create a sheen. It's an excellent product. A little goes a long way so great value for money and a nice colour to the wood.

The necks of the bottles aren’t long enough to seat into the seal at in the too long caps. All were leaking but only slightly. They continued to bubble out stain as they warmed up after transit on a cold day. I washed the lids and the threads of the bottles and kept them upright. Not a major problem and nine colours of stain was a good price. I’ve tried them on some wood offcuts and the colours are great. It might be blotchy on cheap softwood but good coverage on hardwoods. Obviously stain alone cannot turn plywood into rosewood. Best applied with a pad. Easy to blend. Excellent for my model boats. Shame about the bottles but stain was good wuality

The kit is a fantastic product for anyone looking to restore or refresh wood furniture. The stain is highly concentrated, meaning you only need a small amount to achieve great coverage. It dries quickly, allowing for multiple coats in a short period of time, which is ideal when you’re working on a project with several pieces of furniture.The application is smooth and easy, and the finish looks professional, with a rich, even colour that enhances the natural grain of the wood. I was especially impressed with how quickly the stain dried – it allowed me to finish my project without long waiting times.This tester kit is a great way to test out the colour before committing to a larger quantity, and I’m very pleased with the results. It has certainly breathed new life into some old furniture. I highly recommend this product!

Amazing stuff ! Easy to apply and dry quick

Useful to try different colours and mixes to repair dings and scratches. Plastic bottles supplied not very durable as some had leaked and left bit of mess in bag. Reasonable value for money

Easy to use, good quality stain. True to colour on untreated pine.

I work on quite a lot of furniture and this product is pretty good.Pros:- Quite thin, but goes on easily and doesn't streak when applied with the grain- The teak colour is good. Not too orangey with brown overtones- It goes a long way. I had a 500ml bottle and only used a bit from the topCons:- It is quite watery and the colour although the colour looks intense when it goes on, it dries a lot lighter- You definitely need two coats to get a good teak colour- If you over-apply, you can lose the grain entirely and it ends up looking painted, so apply carefully and wait between coats.I have attached 3 pics:1. What it looks like when applied (goes on dark and then dries really light)2. The tables I was working on from L-R: 2 coats, 1 coat and no coats of woodstain3. Finished colour with 2 coats on all tables.

So easy to apply with great resultsCovers very well and is brilliant value for money.
