### ⭐ If you want to ruin your furniture, use this spray
*by A***G on July 26, 2019*

After reading the reviews and looking at various products, I decided to give this one a try. It seemed like it would be simple and easy to just spray on this wood stain and - presto! - my furniture would be refinished. Unfortunately, this was too much to ask. There are a number of problems with this product. - I shook the bottle for one minute, as instructed, but the spray can spurted globs of varnish onto the furniture. (This didn't happen during my test on some spare wood. It only happened when I was spraying on the furniture.) I tried to wipe it off, but that just made it look streaky and uneven. - It is practically impossible to get an even coat with the spray can. No matter how hard I tried to spray evenly back and forth, there were places that ended up lighter and some darker. - Even though the can said that this product was made to use indoors, DO NOT USE IT INSIDE!! This was such a mistake. The spray went everywhere. Even with a tarp and newspapers on the floor and everywhere I thought the paint might reach, it still managed to coat everything in a sticky, thin layer of paint. I was able to get it off with a mixture of vinegar and water on a paper towel, which I rubbed over everything. - The fumes are dangerous and you don't want them in your house (read the bottle). My air conditioner pumped the fumes throughout our house. Not good. Also, even when I was wearing a heavy-duty breathing mask, I could still smell the varnish as I was spraying. It produces very strong fumes. It would have been so much easier to go get a bucket of stain/varnish and paint it on. If you are considering this product with the idea that it would be easier than the traditional methods of painting varnish on furniture, just don't do it. Period. I got a refund for this product, but I have a night stand and two dressers that are ruined because of it.
