I realize that I may need more than one?** A: Yes it should , especially if it's bare wood . You most certainly will need more than one .

The directions do not anything about needing a top coat. **Q: if being used on drink coaster, would i need to apply a sealer over this stain?** A: It has verithane in it , but when I used it I did add few coats of polyurethane. **Q: Need to varnish after application?** A: Instructions do not indicate needing anything further. Very nice stain with applicator. Dries with a soft gloss. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great to touch up my floors! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 21, 2026* I had some floorboards that were showing some wear and tear so I got this to try and re-stain the worn out areas. This worked like a charm! It was very easy to use and control and made my floors look nice and new! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stain applicator *by on Reviewed in the United States May 18, 2026* Great product. Quick, easy way to apply stain. Great for small jobs and touchup. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sponge tip shredded a little *by on Reviewed in the United States December 23, 2025* This worked so well! I love how the one coat gave my virgin wood Viking wall art a rich and rustic look. Removed one star because the sponge tip did shred a bit as I did these, I think mostly because of all the cutout edges, but I got all 4 done both sides and still have plenty to use and the shredded sponge still works for the most part. A little hard to squeeze the bottle of you have weak hand muscles. ## Frequently Bought Together - Varathane 368029 Less Mess Wood Stain and Applicator, 4 oz, Dark Walnut - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement - Varathane 381119 Water Based Wood Stain, Quart, 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.gr/products/446800085-368029-less-mess-wood-stain-and-applicator-4-oz-dark](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/446800085-368029-less-mess-wood-stain-and-applicator-4-oz-dark) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
