Review: Best Stain Ever! - Of all the stains ever used this is by far the best product I've come across. Too bad it doesn't come in gallon cans as I have 54, 2 x 10 rafters to stain. It stirs up quickly and you will need to get the copper colored agent off the bottom as most cans seem to have a long shelf life before purchase and subsequent settling. It soaks almost immediately into pine and dries so quickly that an 18 ft. rafter is dry at the beginning before you reach the other end. (disclaimer: this is at 9,200 ft. elevation and in the sunlight.) Great for me as I can top coat it with urethane after 15 minutes. How a water based agent can dry so quickly is amazing. Stain is for an "Aged Wood" look. Don't know exactly what constitutes aged wood but on pine it is a dark brown effect. It soaks in so fast you have to be quick on the draw with your brush to even out what you are laying down on the wood or else you will have a darker stain mark if left for even 10 seconds. Experimenting with using a roller vs. brush has pros and cons. A smooth surface roller is faster but leaves unstained areas with minor depressions in the wood surface. Using a thicker roller lays down too much stain and uneven darker/lighter areas and the fast drying makes it difficult to blend the dark to light areas. A brush is best as you can work in 2 ft. increments and keep a more consistent look to the stain by feathering the previous patch with the current. Review: Test your wood. - I am having custom cove trim made to use between the backsplash in my kitchen and the countertop. Currently we are deciding what kind of wood to use so I wanted to test some of the wood I have available to me. I used a scrap of lightly bug stained pine we are using for the baseboards. The piece is raw rough wood. I also wanted to use this as learning experience. This wood accelerator is very thin. I used a cheap brush, and this is the result of one coat. The instant the accelerator touched the wood it changed to the color you see and after 30 minutes it still looked the same. Due to the roughness of the wood, it pooled slightly in places and none touched other places. But my takeaway is this works great on new pine, be quick and use a quality brush. I also tried it on a very old plywood pullout shelf. I prepped the wood according to the instructions. I bleached and washed it. Allowed it to dry. After 2 coats there was almost no change in the wood so I am going to stain or paint those. This couldn't be easier to use. Cleanup is a snap, there is no odor to contend with and a little goes a long way. I like it. ## Features - For interior use on bare or untreated wood to create an aged look - Water-based, low odor formula with easy soap and water clean up - Dries to the touch in 1 hour and covers up to 275 sq ft depending on wood type and porosity - Replicates and creates a natural aged look in minutes - Final look will vary depending on the type of wood used ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08D3RV662 | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,840 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #56 in Household Stains | | Brand | Varathane | | Coating Description | Water-based | | Color | Aged Brown | | Coverage | 275 sq. ft. | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,437) | | Date First Available | April 6, 2021 | | Finish | Matte | | Finish Type | Matte | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00020066381837 | | Included Components | Wood Stain | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 7.1 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 4.25 x 4.25 x 4.88 inches | | Item model number | 331305 | | Liquid Volume | 32 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Rust-Oleum | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | Wood Effect Accelerators | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Information | Jug | | Paint Type | Water Based | | Part Number | 331305 | | Product Dimensions | 4.25 x 4.25 x 4.88 inches | | Recommended Uses For Product | interior | | Size | Quart (Pack of 1) | | Style | Accelerator | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | UPC | 020066381837 | | Unit Count | 32.0 Fluid Ounces | | Usage | Inside; Amateur, Inside; Professional | | Warranty Description | Warranty | | Warranty Type | Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Varathane - **Color:** Aged Brown - **Material:** Plastic - **Model Name:** Wood Effect Accelerators - **Surface Recommendation:** Wood ## Images ![331305 Aged Wood Accelerator, Quart, Brown - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I9RvSRaRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use this on pine wood painted brown ?** A: I'm not sure. I used it on your typical 2 x 4 you get from home depot and it came out nice. **Q: Do you have to seal it after it dries? And with what if you do, polyurethane?** A: Yes - a couple of coats with light sanding in between makes it smooth and water resistant. I use satin water based poly **Q: Can this be used for unfinished kitchen cabinets** A: I don't see any reason why it couldn't be used to "age" unfinished kitchen cabinets. You would probably want to use a polyurethane to seal them. **Q: Can you use this on a porch floor? I know it says indoor, but what would happen...would it be slipery?** A: It actually soaks into the wood and makes it look aged. There is no shine or anything to make it slippery or that would change the texture of the wood. It’s great if you want the weathers barn look. I loved it! Super easy and it had the consistency of water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Stain Ever! *by D***R on August 20, 2024* Of all the stains ever used this is by far the best product I've come across.

However, I missed a few spots, and as a beginner, I discovered that touch-ups are challenging because the touch-up area has two coats in some places, making it noticeable. But that was the stain applicator’s fault. Despite this, it created a beautiful dark color on some construction-grade Douglas fir beams. The stain absorbed into the wood, leaving no residue to wipe off. ## Frequently Bought Together - Varathane 331305 Aged Wood Accelerator, Quart, Brown - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement - Varathane 381123 Water Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner, Quart --- ## 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.sc/products/308763731-331305-aged-wood-accelerator-quart-brown](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/308763731-331305-aged-wood-accelerator-quart-brown) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
