Bring out the natural beauty of interior wood with the Old Masters Professional Semi-Transparent Satin Maple Oil-Based Alkyd Fast Dry Wood Stain, packed in a convenient 1 qt container. This fast-drying, oil-based stain is engineered for professionals who want a warmer maple tone without hiding the grain, along with dependable performance in everyday projects.
-
Semi-transparent Maple tone enhances and enriches the wood grain while delivering a warm, yellow-toned finish that feels timeless and refined.
-
Oil-based alkyd formula provides durable protection and rich color depth for interior surfaces like cabinetry, trim, furniture, and paneling. Not intended for exterior UV exposure, but excellent for indoor applications.
-
Fast-drying, efficient workflow with a recoating window around 2 hours—great for multi-coat finishes and time-sensitive projects.
-
Versatile application options—brush, spray, or wipe to control color intensity and finish. Tintable to dial in the exact maple shade you need.
-
Good coverage and finish—approximately 125 square feet per quart, depending on wood porosity. Satin sheen delivers a soft, low-luster look that’s easy to maintain.
-
Professional-grade versatility—designed for indoor surfaces where a quality, grain-friendly stain is essential, and compatible with a clear topcoat if additional protection is desired.
Ideal for maple- or maple-toned interiors, this stain shines on furniture, doors, trim, and cabinetry where you want a sophisticated, grain-forward appearance. The key is controlling color depth with thin, even coats and allowing proper drying time between applications. Because it’s not UV resistant, pair it with indoor-use planning and consider finishing with a compatible topcoat that suits high-traffic areas.
Quick-start application guide:
- Prepare surfaces with a smooth sand to 180–220 grit and remove all dust.
- Stir thoroughly and test on scrap wood to preview color and consistency.
- Apply in thin, even coats using your preferred method (brush, spray, or wipe).
- Wipe away excess and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
- Allow approximately 2 hours before applying a second coat; add more coats for deeper color.
- Finish with a compatible topcoat if you need enhanced durability or easier cleanup.
