SamaN Interior One Step Wood Seal, Stain and Varnish – Oil Based Odorless Dye – Protection for Furniture and Fine Wood (Walnut SAM-309, 8 oz)

easy to use!
I love this stain! goes on easy and dries quick, leaves a nice soft warm glow. Wasn’t sure if I could use it on my hard wood floors but I gave it a try. They are beautiful! and the finish is holding up great. I have had both plumbers and electricians walking on them with ho problem. I have moved furniture around without scuffing my floors. I sandaled and stained my baseboards and doors and they came out beautiful. I loved that I didn’t have to buy a stain and sealer separately. One coat covered everything. The only problem was if you get a drip brush it in quickly because it dries fast!, All you have to do is be careful and neat about applying the stain

Excellent way to stain maple
On very hard maple sapwood, I have had much better results applying this product with a lint-free rag (along the grain, working fast) than a with a brush, counter to the manufacturer’s instructions. I have had no blotching, which is amazing with this particular timber. I also find that I can do additional coats after only five-to-ten minutes this way, also counter to the manufacturer’s instructions. I am doing a dark color; four coats gets me there.

Color accurate, easy to apply
I used this to stain some 2×12 inch maple boards being used as shelf risers inside of a cabinet. Honestly, I just bought this product because it was the cheapest all-in-one stain I could find. I was pleased with the result. The color was exactly as pictured in the Amazon listing, a dark warm walnut. I put on 4 coats and waited 2 hours in between each. It is a milky color when it’s wet but dries clear. You definitely need multiple coats to get a rich color. This product worked well for my small project. The color ended up matching the stain inside my cabinet perfectly.

Perfect colour for my sewing desk which was previously varnished. I roughed it up a little then applied the stain. Coverage is amazing. One coat does it but wanted a bit darker so I chose to do two coats. Dries quickly. I did our oak kitchen table & chairs a couple years ago with SamaN. Turned out beautifully. This is the best product for your projects. Soap & water clean up. Highly recommend.

It is overall a satisfing experience and product. Easy to apply, low odors. However, because it is a stain with vanish, the first coat did the stain on the wood and it cannot be change later.For the first coat, any uneven painting, or more paint from one area than the others will cause the wood color look uneven, and there is no way to fix it. Because it is stain and vanish all-in-one formula, stain on second coat is blocked by the first coat, which cannot reach into the wood.I was making this mistake, then try to correct the color my applying multiple coats, and that does not help. What makes it worst is after 3+ coats, perhaps its too much, somehow makes the surface of the paint feel sticky, no matter how long the paint is dried.

I bought this product to refinish a tabletop that was ruined by accident by my landlord’s handyman…I had never done anything even remotely like this before and have no experience with woodworking, painting or staining.I picked this product because it seemed easy to use and didn’t require me to buy many different products to get the job done. I don’t plan to do anything like this again so buying 2~3 different products would have been expensive and wasteful.I sanded the tabletop down and with a friend’s orbital sander (first with a coarse sanding paper and finished it with a fine one).I applied a coat with a new dish sponge, with the wood grain, following the instructions on the can. It was really easy to work with and I didn’t have to go super fast. The stain was forgiving. If you forget a dollop somewhere you have a little bit of time to wipe it off before it turns into a dark spot. I applied really thin layers and wiped the excess with a paper towel.I did two coats and the colour darkened a little but not as much as I feared. I picked the colour (amaretto) online, so I couldn’t see the can in person, but I lucked out and matched the existing stain perfectly!The stain dries really fast (even though it was quite humid and cold) and leaves a smooth satin finish. Liquids bead on the finish, so I think it’ll do a good job being resistant to water damageThe first pictures are outside with full afternoon sun: tabletop before, bare wood and one coat of the stain.Closeup pictures is after two coats and in interior lighting (it looks a bit darker than in person on that picture). I think the stain matches the photo at the bottom of the can pretty well.
