It's very easy to work with. **Q: Is this considered a gel stain or regular stain?** A: It's not a gel stain but the consistency is thicker than a regular stain. **Q: Looking to paint hollow doors- Do I need a wood conditioner first? Or will this cover well in 1 coat?** A: This is not a paint, but rather a stain. If you're looking to cover up defects or anything along those lines this will not work. Yes, it will alter the color of the wood with one use though. **Q: Can this stain be thinned out? If so, with what?** A: I haven't tried but other reviews indicate the fast drying formula is already thinned out ## Frequently Bought Together - Varathane® Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain 262028 Black Cherry - Royal Apex Paint Brushes - Long Quality bristles/Comfortable Wooden Handle - for All Types of Painting (1Inch) - Varathane® Premium Fast Dry Wood Stain 262025 Dark Walnut --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/255519835-varathane-premium-fast-dry-wood-stain-262028-black-cherry](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/255519835-varathane-premium-fast-dry-wood-stain-262028-black-cherry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
