          A:  We are here to help, Michele! To ensure the best results with Rust-Oleum Varathane Stain and Polyurethane, you will want to ensure the wood putty is stainable or paintable. If the putty is non-hardening, it may not be able to accept a topcoat. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

            A:  Thank you for reaching out. Irina. Rust-Oleum Varathane Stain + Poly can be applied to railings, but you will need to remove the previous finish first by stripping or sanding so this product can penetrate and dry properly. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5

              Q:I previously used this product on a floor and loved the results, though in a spare room and i have to be careful not to scratch. I am staining our bedroom floor and decided to use the kona for floors, but it didnt come out as nice. Can I put a polyurethane finish for floors over this product to make it more durable? Thank you

              A:  Thank you for reaching out! While Rust-Oleum Varathane Stain and Polyurethane in One is great for interior wood surfaces, it is not a floor-grade coating and will not withstand foot traffic, even with a floor polyurethane over it. To ensure the best results, we recommend removing the product, staining the floor with a suitable stain and then topcoating with Rust-Oleum Varathane Polyurethane for Floors. https://www.homedepot.com/s/varathane%2520floors?NCNI-5 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

                A:  Yes, i have used clear poly over this product with great results. For best results sand it lightly before application of the clear poly.

                A:  Hello Joe, Laminate flooring is typically not a flooring that you would stain as the surface is a very then veneer. If you were to apply stain there would be nothing for the stain to sink into. I hope this helps. Cheers, Chris

                by|May 6, 2023

                A:  Happy to help, Joe! Rust-Oleum Varathane Stain and Polyurethane is not recommended for application to a floor. Laminate flooring can be also difficult to refinish as the veneer over the pressed wood is not thick enough to properly prepare through sanding. We'd like to hear a little more about your project and try to help. Please call our Product Support team at (888) 577- 8459. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 4
