Has anyone stained this? How did it turn out?

I've not had good luck with this product in this regard. It does not take stain like real wood, and when once I used it to fill the large pores of an antique mahogany buffet top, no amount of stain would obscure the cream colored lines and dots all over the surface!!! So, I had to strip the top a second time. I'm not please with this product. It also sets up too quickly for some smaller projects. It's probably just fine for rougher projects and ones where painting is the desired finish.

Different woods will take up stain to different extents, so this filler might not match the take up of your wood. To know what to expect, you should do a test stain of the filler against your wood. If either too light or too dark, you might have to apply more or less stain to the filler. If the filler's not taking up enough stain, you can also mix the stain into the filler before you apply it. Good luck.

In this instance I used deck paint on the plastic wood. On other occasions I have used a like material and stained it but first I scored the putty with a knife, giving it a "grain" that would show darker when stained. I tried to match the grain of the surrounding wood. Then a little more stain with a Q-tip to get the shade just right. It worked OK. This stuff should work the same.

Yes, we used it to fill imperfections in a 460sq.ft. deck and used Douglas Fir because we knew that we'd be staining it. Absolutely perfect! I've never used a better product to date related to wood fill, nor has the mate. She had me order two additional cans after the first.

I've never had it stain. I usually test it in an inconspicuous location when spraying on new material.

I agree with MMK. I think the stain is too orange. It doesn't match my other furniture. However, the chair/stool is a really nice piece and I'm keeping it. I'll just paint it or stand it down and restain it.

Still love it! Use baking soda with a little hot water to make a paste to clean it. Never had a stain!

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

The wood is pre-treated with a clear waterproofing. I think the instructions stated that it can be stained.

It is stained and nice looking for money. We actually set it up in a built in wall unit with adjustable shelving in our great room and the stain was perfect for the shelving.

It is unfinished. It's more of a rustic piece. However, I don't see why you couldn't stain it if you wanted too.

I am a novice furniture finisher. I stained a raw wood bookcase. This was my first piece and don't know how the stain would look on a piece previously stained. Sorry.

I agree with the other responses. The wood has been finished with a lacquer or polyurethane. It could be removed with a stripper, and would then need to be sanded before staining. It would take some work especially with hand sanding in small areas. I suggest you live with the natural for a while and then see how you feel about it...

I have not had it stain anything. I love it. It's the best sunscreen ever!!!

No it didn't stain. I mean it'll get some residue on them but they're washable. :]

It already has a blond finish and is quite nice. In order to stain you would probably have to sand it and you would have to take it apart to do that. I am not sure a stain would take over the current finish. For us, it is just fine the way it is. SP

It is stained, and I believe it is sealed. I won't swear to that though because I gave it as a gift so do not have it here for me to examine. It is very nice though. By far the nicest option I have seen.

No, but we were able to find some on Amazon that went well with it. There were several choices. Look for a stain like "ESPRESSO".

It is Ok. with stain, but I didn't try it with both lacquer or polyurethane. Dr. Eng. Rafik M. Fawzy

I found an older stain but it did look a little splotchy and faint... there was also a puddle a few days old but it fluoressed (spelling?!) brightly!
