## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this allow me to restain a tabletop? 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Review
*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.
