  • Great product but poorly packaged
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Classic Gray
great product but seller poorly packed product 2 one gallon cans of stain packed in a box with absolutely no packing material to keep them from rolling around The cans were severely dented but at least they didn't leak (this time) previous orders from this seller did leak VERY BADLY..... SO SELLER HAS A HABIT OF NOT PACKING PROPERLY But the product itself is a very good product ... show more

  • Beautiful gray stain, recommend to all!
Size: Quart Color: Classic Gray
This classic gray stain for wood finishes is stunning! I wanted a stain for a mantle I was working on, and I read online that Classic Gray 271 combined with Varathane English Chestnut would create the ideal grayish brown hue. And boy, did it really. This stain exceeded my expectations; combining it with Varathane English Chestnut was the greatest idea someone has ever had. This stain is really light and emits a lovely gray tone; when combined with chestnut, it adds the ideal brown tone, and the combination just can't get better (imo). I was a little nervous because this was my first time combining the two colors and staining can be really scary, but the stain turned out just how I wanted it, so I wouldn't change a thing! The pictures I've included show the mantle stained with the two colors I blended and the Classic Gray 271 can, which appears semi-purple but doesn't apply really purple. If you want a soft yet elegant gray, I wholeheartedly suggest this stain. Because of the lovely hues it emits, I'm sure I'll put this on wood by itself in the future. It would look amazing. **Leave a thumbs up so this review can get pushed out to more people!** ... show more

  • Great wood stain for those who like to see more wood grain.
Size: 1/2 Pint Color: Classic Gray
I like to torch all my lumber or most of it to pull out the wood grain.Just as I love this stain and the classic black transparent. This stuff works even better for both semi transparent and showing plenty of the natural wood grain.And the browns you get when torch wood.And the keep fine sanding the wood down to a finer grit then I finnish with steel wool 4 odd. Drys semi quick as long as you apply it in thin coats and I wipe it off semi quick.To get the desired look Im after. Then I will use a clean rag and buff it so by the time your down with this buffing .It sure wont take long for the boards to be completely dry. Then I live in phoenix arizona where its dry as a cracker.Boiled linseed oil drys fast here. ... show more

  • Stain color on the can does not match the actual stain.
Size: Quart Color: Classic Gray
Good stain but color is way off from the picture on the can. The color is more like a medium gray so had to add a light white stain I had to lighten it.

  • Beautiful Color
Size: Quart Color: Classic Gray
I can not say enough good things about this stain, I was somewhat hesitant when I first purchased it because the label makes it seem much lighter then what I was looking for. After applying my first coat I was pleasantly surprised, the color came out much darker and covered a lot easier then I thought it was going to. I stained two nightstands with this stain and just love the color, it let the wood grain show through while still being a beautiful grey color. I can not wait to find more things to stain this color, I highly recommend this product. ... show more

  • Works, but is a little different.
Size: 1/2 Pint Color: Classic Gray
This grey stain is going to look odd with any but a very very light wood. It is a very nice stain but since it is also a "color" rather than straight stain, it obscures the grain a little. This is a medium wood from a dollhouse. One coat allows the grain to show but also the color of the wood. I posted 2 pics; one with flash and one without. Hope this helps. ... show more

  • This is a very grey stain
Size: 1/2 Pint Color: Classic Gray
I was looking for something that would be a little more translucent. This is a very solid grey colored stain. If you're looking for more of a driftwood look, I would go with another stain. If you're looking for a darker grey color that still shows some wood grain, this is the stain for you.
