Staining is a simple way to give new life to an old piece of wood. Wood stains create vibrant colors that enhance the natural beauty of woods. However, it’s a job that requires often requires a lot of guesswork. 

How will the stain react to your project? Will the color work with the rest of the room? How soon will you be able to clear-coat it? 

Behr takes out the guesswork with its new Premium Fast Drying Water-Based Wood Stain

Behr’s new wood stain comes in 12 premixed colors and 60 custom colors, so you’re sure to find a tint that matches your unique style.  

The high-performance stain dries quickly and evenly in just one hour. It also provides superior color and application control for interior projects.

Plus, it’s reworkable for up to 48 hours after staining the wood, so you have more time to get the look you want. 

The stain starts working in two to three minutes. The longer you leave the stain on, the richer and darker the color will be. To get an even deeper and darker color, apply a second coat after the first hour of drying.

Clean-up is easy — just use soap and water. And you won’t have to smell that stain for very long because this product has less odor than other oil-based stains.
