About this product
Ronseal Quick Dry Wood stain is a water-based product designed for staining and protecting wooden surfaces, particularly oak, offering a robust defence against the elements. This 2.5 litre tin from Ronseal, model number 30948, provides a semi transparent satin finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood while delivering long-lasting protection. It’s suitable for use on fences, sheds and doors where durability is key.
The stain offers rapid weather resistance; it becomes rainproof in approximately 30 minutes, making it ideal for changeable British conditions. Formulated with a water-based formula, it resists cracking and peeling, ensuring the stained surface remains protected from sun damage and general wear and tear. The stain’s coverage is around 20 square metres per litre, meaning a single tin can cover a significant area.
The stain comes supplied in a re-sealable tin with a transparent finish and a satin texture. It's compatible with wood and oak surfaces, offering comprehensive protection against the elements. For best results, it’s recommended for use on wooden surfaces, including oak.
A large 2.5 litre capacity means fewer refills are needed when working on larger projects. However, for optimal colour consistency, it is important to stir well before applying, particularly with the Dark Oak shade, to ensure an even tone throughout the finish. The item measures 15.3 x 15.3 x 15.7 centimetres and weighs 2.97 Kilograms.
