Circa 1850 Stain'n Varnish is both a wood stain and a varnish finish in one. Its unique gel formulation maintains a consistent blend of stain and varnish throughout the can - so there's no mixing or stirring required. As a result, you ensure uniformity from the beginning of your project to the end. And because it's a gel, it goes on without runs, drips, or brush marks. Stain'n Varnish can be used on virtually any surface including wood furniture, molding, paneling and floors, pottery, metal, plastic, fiberglass, masonite and composites (or composite doors). Stain'n Varnish comes in 22 pre-mixed colors to suit any decor. By Swing Paints
- Circa 1850 Stain'n Varnish can be applied onto bare, stained or finished wood. Use Circa 1850 Furniture Cleaner to remove dirt and polish. Sand wood surface with fine sandpaper. With a lint-free cloth spread a generous coat of Stain'n Varnish over the surface and wipe off excess immediately. Rub evenly in the direction of the grain. Wait 8 hours then smooth lightly with very fine steel wool. Using a cloth slightly dampened with Stain'n Varnish, rub lightly with quick full length strokes in the direction of the grain. Continue until you don't feel any drag on the cloth, and the surface is smooth.

Refinished wood interior of a 1979 Boston Whaler. Used a heat gun to remove old varnish, sanded, and then applied varnish stain. Great results.

Sanded and refinished cabinets in my kitchen using Satin Black colour. I used multiple coats so I could get a strong opaque colour without using paint. The wood grain is still visible through out but the coverage was great. I was able to use the product on the frame of the cupboards which was a laminate with plastic trim.

Compared to other combination stain/varnish products I have used, this product wipes on much easier, and dries more consistently(even color).
