Stains and Finishes

Many stains and finishes have a good shelf life if packaged properly. You may want to keep them for future projects if you have the storage space. However, if you are all finished (pun intended) please make sure to bring your unused stains and finishes — like polyurethane, lacquer, and sealant — to one of the collection centers below.
