It creates a unique, one-of-a-kind black char look by replicating the aging process that happens in nature by reacting with the tannins of the wood. Review: Best Stain Ever! - Of all the stains ever used this is by far the best product I've come across. Too bad it doesn't come in gallon cans as I have 54, 2 x 10 rafters to stain. It stirs up quickly and you will need to get the copper colored agent off the bottom as most cans seem to have a long shelf life before purchase and subsequent settling. It soaks almost immediately into pine and dries so quickly that an 18 ft. rafter is dry at the beginning before you reach the other end. (disclaimer: this is at 9,200 ft. elevation and in the sunlight.) Great for me as I can top coat it with urethane after 15 minutes. How a water based agent can dry so quickly is amazing. Stain is for an "Aged Wood" look. Don't know exactly what constitutes aged wood but on pine it is a dark brown effect. It soaks in so fast you have to be quick on the draw with your brush to even out what you are laying down on the wood or else you will have a darker stain mark if left for even 10 seconds. Experimenting with using a roller vs. brush has pros and cons. A smooth surface roller is faster but leaves unstained areas with minor depressions in the wood surface. Using a thicker roller lays down too much stain and uneven darker/lighter areas and the fast drying makes it difficult to blend the dark to light areas. A brush is best as you can work in 2 ft. increments and keep a more consistent look to the stain by feathering the previous patch with the current. Review: Test your wood. - I am having custom cove trim made to use between the backsplash in my kitchen and the countertop. Currently we are deciding what kind of wood to use so I wanted to test some of the wood I have available to me. I used a scrap of lightly bug stained pine we are using for the baseboards. The piece is raw rough wood. I also wanted to use this as learning experience. This wood accelerator is very thin. I used a cheap brush, and this is the result of one coat. The instant the accelerator touched the wood it changed to the color you see and after 30 minutes it still looked the same. Due to the roughness of the wood, it pooled slightly in places and none touched other places. But my takeaway is this works great on new pine, be quick and use a quality brush. I also tried it on a very old plywood pullout shelf. I prepped the wood according to the instructions. I bleached and washed it. Allowed it to dry. After 2 coats there was almost no change in the wood so I am going to stain or paint those. This couldn't be easier to use. Cleanup is a snap, there is no odor to contend with and a little goes a long way. I like it. ## Features - For interior use on bare or untreated wood to create a charred look - Water-based, low odor formula with easy soap and water clean up - Dries to the touch in 1 hour and covers up to 275 sq ft depending on wood type and porosity - Replicates and creates a natural charred look in minutes - Final look will vary depending on the type of wood used ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08D3RPSS2 | | Base Material | Water-based | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,071 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #48 in Household Stains | | Brand | Varathane | | Brand Name | Varathane | | Coating Description | Water-based | | Color | Charred Black | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Coverage | 275 sq. ft. | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,454 Reviews | | Finish Types | Textured, Matte | | Included Components | Wood Stain | | Item Dimensions | 4.25 x 4.25 x 4.88 inches | | Item Type Name | Wood Effect Accelerators | | Item Weight | 1.13 Kilograms | | Liquid Volume | 946 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Rust-Oleum | | Manufacturer Part Number | 347105 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | Wood Effect Accelerators | | Model Number | 347105 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Paint Type | Water Based | | Recommended Uses For Product | interior | | Size | Quart (Pack of 1) | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | UPC | 020066442958 | | Unit Count | 946 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Varathane - **Color:** Charred Black - **Material:** Wood - **Model Name:** Wood Effect Accelerators - **Surface Recommendation:** Wood ## Images ![347105 Charred Wood Accelerator, Quart, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ngufoi0qL.jpg) ![347105 Charred Wood Accelerator, Quart, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41gFmU7jI0L.jpg) ![347105 Charred Wood Accelerator, Quart, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mYPvi8T9L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What would happen if I use this on a light oak cabinet that has a polyurethane finish?** A: I’d imagine you’d have to sand these first. I used this on raw cabinets and it came out beautiful. Baseboards too. I wouldn’t think the stain would adhere to wood if you had a finish already on it. **Q: I want to stain my shower bench with this stain. Will color hold up after living in shower?** A: I’d highly recommend that you seal your bench with a crystal clear waterproof topcoat! Several coats… **Q: is this product food safe for countertops?** A: I wouldn’t ruin your piece with putting food on it, and if you were to have a piece you’d like to serve food on, I’d suggest you seal it with a topcoat and therefore you’d have to choose one that is food grade safe… hope this helps **Q: Does this stain need to be sealed if used on porch swing?** A: Rust-Oleum 347105 Charred Wood Accelerator, Black. Yes, use "Clear Polyurethane" to seal!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Stain Ever! *by D***R on August 20, 2024* Of all the stains ever used this is by far the best product I've come across.

However, I missed a few spots, and as a beginner, I discovered that touch-ups are challenging because the touch-up area has two coats in some places, making it noticeable. But that was the stain applicator’s fault. Despite this, it created a beautiful dark color on some construction-grade Douglas fir beams. The stain absorbed into the wood, leaving no residue to wipe off. ## Frequently Bought Together - Varathane 347105 Charred Wood Accelerator, Quart, Black - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement - 24 Pcs Foam Paint Brushes, Wood Handle Sponge Brushes for Painting, Staining, Varnishes, and DIY Craft Projects (1'', 2'' and 3'') --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/305932426-347105-charred-wood-accelerator-quart-black](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/305932426-347105-charred-wood-accelerator-quart-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
