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 . If it is a complete table top you may want to think about a small can of stain . **Q: Does this require a top coat after use?** A: I don't think it needs anything else, it dries with a soft glossy appearance. 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 Y***S on 21 June 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! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smiling in Streetsville. *by S***E on 23 October 2025* Excellent product, price and delivery. Thank you and God Bless. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great idea, not so good design *by M***L on 30 March 2025* Great idea, but no so good design. For one the sponge is kind of crap, should make it as a replaceable one, the sponge fell apart in no time, the stain wasn't consistent, the sponge didnt seem to get my on it as I result I had to be a little heavier on it. Glad I was only using it on some wood for laser cutting and nothing valuable. ## 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.com.ar/products/528594031-less-mess-wood-stain-and-applicator-4-oz-dark-walnut](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/528594031-less-mess-wood-stain-and-applicator-4-oz-dark-walnut) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
