    A: We appreciate your interest! To ensure proper drying, Rust-Oleum Varathane Whitewash Wood Stain needs to be applied to a wood surface. It will not properly penetrate laminate or properly dry. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

    A: Happy to help, Mike! Yes, Rust-Oleum Varathane Whitewash Wood Stain can be topcoated with a polyurethane after 1 hour. We recommend Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Ultimate Polyurethane for a crystal clear finish. An oil-based finish can be used, but it will add an amber hue to the finish. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rust-oleum-1-qt-crystal-clear-varathane-water-based-interior-ultimate-polyurethane-satin-2344772 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

Q: We’re having trouble with yellow tannins in our pine shiplap boards showing through regular paint. Would they come through with this paint?

  • Rust-OleumSupport
    A: Tina, we are here to help! Rust-Oleum Varathane Whitewash Wood Stain is not considered a paint but a penetrating stain. It needs to be applied to a bare wooden surface. Instead, we recommend using Rust-Oleum Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Based Primer. This will help with blocking the tannins and can be topcoated with a water- or oil-based paint after an hour. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rust-oleum-zinsser-cover-stain-oil-based-low-voc-100-gal-271448-1485295 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

Q: Want sheen

1 Answer
  • Rust-OleumSupport
    A: Happy to help, Marc! Rust-Oleum Varathane Whitewash Wood Stain is a penetrating product. That being said, it will not form a filming product and will not have sheen. It is considered a semi-transparent stain that provides a classic, natural color that allows wood grain to come through. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

Q: Do you have to sand

a year ago
1 Answer
  • Rust-OleumSupport
    A: Happy to help, Eileen! To ensure proper penetration of Rust-Oleum Varathane Whitewash, the surface needs to be sanded if applying it to bare wood. This includes sanding the surface with 120-grit sandpaper and progressing to 220-grit sandpaper. Failure to stand the surface may result in improper application and an uneven finish. If applying it over stained wood, sanding may be needed depending on the final look you hope to achieve! - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10
