Village Green Ready to Use Wood Stain - Water Based, Eco Friendly, Premium Quality (Poppy, 5L)

We have oak, it drank this stain in but after a couple of coats it look almost black , so I think you would have different results with different woods ..we tried the sample so very pleased did pay for the big bottle as it would have been wasted

I got tester sample as I thought it will hopefully be enough to paint my little set. It was more than enough! I have used half of the bottle and did one coat (table was already painted on the "before" picture but looked the same as chairs. It went darker as it dried and I like the effect. I've used half of the 50ml bottle!I am unsure what happens after it rains as I've just painted them but I don't expect anything will happen.

It's very splotchy and uneven, but would probably be perfect for that "distressed" style on rustic or shabby chic furniture and crafts. Not the usual brand of stain I normally use, so i did set myself up for disappointment. It was relatively cheap so I'm not too upset about it, and it does the job.

Excellent value

Easy to apply, vivid colour, goes a long way.

Easy to use, excellent coverage. Only used 1 coat. Very happy with results, perfect match for my living room!

I used this to tidy up minor scratches on a writing bureau that I had bought from a charity shop. Used it sparingly with a cotton wool pad and the results are amazing.

I used it to stain the Maple veneer on top of my home built guitar. I did expect the water based wood dyes to be kinda thin and watery, duh, 'water based!' But i was drawn by the idea of faster easier cleaner smell free application. But, this white colour is Very transparent and needed lots of coats before it would build up. Nowhere near how I pictured it. Why oh why didn't I use solvent based! You live and learn, me old Mum used to say.
