Varathane Semi-Transparent Gloss Aged Brown Water-Based Polyurethane Aged Wood Accelerator 1 qt

Bring out the character of your wood with Varathane Semi-Transparent Gloss Aged Brown Water-Based Polyurethane, engineered as an Aged Wood Accelerator. This indoor, water-based finish seals and subtly tints your wood while preserving natural grain, delivering a warm, antique-inspired brown that's perfect for furniture, cabinets, shelves, and trim.

• Color and finish: Semi-transparent aged brown tint with a gloss sheen that enhances depth without hiding the grain.
• Formulation: Water-based polyurethane designed specifically as an Aged Wood Accelerator to give an aged, refined look on wood surfaces.
• Application: Brush or lint-free cloth application for smooth, even coverage on interior wood projects.
• Recoat time: Time before recoating is approximately 2 hours, allowing you to build depth with efficient layering.
• Coverage: Covers about 275 sq ft per gallon; a 1 qt container will cover a proportional area, yielding practical coverage for smaller projects and furniture refinishing.
• Nature of finish: Not a sealer and not UV resistant, so use indoors on wood you want to age gracefully rather than protect against outdoor sun exposure.
• Color family: Brown; base type: water-based; coating material: polyurethane; sheen: gloss.

Who this is for: DIYers and wood enthusiasts who want a quick, authentic aged look without heavy staining. Ideal for reviving vintage furniture, enhancing cabinets with timeless warmth, or giving newwood pieces an heirloom appearance while keeping the wood’s texture and grain visible.

Use cases and benefits: - Refurbishing a dining table to achieve a warm, aged patina while maintaining wood grain clarity. - Rejuvenating cabinets or shelves with a subtle brown tint that reads as naturally aged rather than painted. - Elevating trim and architectural details with a gloss, aged brown finish that complements a variety of decors.

Tips for best results: - Prepare the surface by cleaning and light sanding to promote adhesion and even color uptake. - Stir well before use and apply thin, even coats with a brush or lint-free cloth. - For deeper age and warmth, apply additional thin coats after the recommended recoat interval, allowing each layer to dry fully.

With Varathane’s Semi-Transparent Gloss Aged Brown Water-Based Polyurethane, you gain a refined, time-worn look that highlights your wood’s natural beauty while delivering a durable finish suitable for indoor environments.
