This stain features the low-odor and easy cleanup of water-based stains, while emulating the easy spreading, blending, repairability and generous open times of oil-based stains. The blend of high-quality dyes and pigments provides rich, even color, and the heavier bodied formula allows controlled penetration, reducing blotching on hard-to-stain woods such as Aspen, Pine and Maple. Non-flammable and free of harsh chemicals and toxic vapors. Ideal for use with children’s toys and furniture.
- Apply liberally with a foam brush or a paint pad applicator.
- Dry time is normally 2-4 hours under ideal conditions (70°F, 70% humidity).
- Cooler temperatures/higher humidity will prolong dry time up to 8-10 hours.
- If necessary, thin with 10-20% water.
- Coverage: 150 sq. ft. per quart.
EF Extender(#80728) is used to open or increase the dry time of water base stains and finishes. Use EF Extender when conditions are extremely hot or dry. Also when staining a large project EF Extender helps provide more working time.
Note:Simply mix 10% to 15% (3-5 fl. oz. per qt.) of EF Extender with any water base stain or finish and mix well.

This is the 2nd EF stain I've ordered and used. Works very well. Unlike others you don't let it sit, you put it on and wipe it off one section of your project at a time.

I wanted a black, BLACK color for the piece and this stain provided it. I applied 3 coats with a foam brush and no wiping and very light sanding between coats. Drying time is very short. It's easy to apply and clean up. The gel consistency makes it very easy to control. Highly recommend.

I was very hard for me to find an espresso wood stain until I found this site. I am a novice wood finisher and I got to say I prefer working with oil base stains versus water based. The color was great, but the product dried too fast for me and also did not penetrate to my liking. A light sanding removed some of the stain and I had to touch it up. The project turned out great, but will try to stick to oil based stains if I can. However clean up was a easy. I did like that.

I was looking everywhere for this color stain! I am very satisfied with the results... it looks like the finish on all the popular new furniture out there. The best part is that an unfinished furniture store wanted to charge me $40 and I got it online with shipping for about $15. Great value, great stain!

I used this stain on a oak table top . It really made the grain stand up. Followed up with GF sanding sealer. Even light sanding with 400 started taking of the stain. Very poor penetration. Wish they made their oil base stain in the expresso.
