General FinishesWater Based Wood Stain, 1 Quart, Black

Q: Does this help/act as a protection against water/liquid?

You will want to add a sealer after the stain has dried well. The sealer offers protection against liquids.

Q: Does it cause grain raise? As it’s water based and drys out fast!

anything that is water based causes grain raise. Lightly wetting down wood and sanding down the grain raise prior to staining and finishing is a good plan

Q: Can I use multiple coats to get a darker color or just only one ?

I used multiple coats of General Finishes water-based (Black Cherry color) to get a darker color on two pieces of unfinished furniture I completed last year. I think the results were beautiful, but of course the stain obscured almost all of the grain in the wood. This wasn't a problem for me since I was seeking a dark and nearly uniform color, so if that's the look you're after just keep applying coats until the wood is as dark as you want it to be. I did not wipe the stain between coats -- I actually applied it more like paint. If I recall correctly, I used four coats of stain followed by six coats of General Finishes High Performance Water Based Top Coat (semigloss). This was my first experience using General Finishes products and I found them to be superior to anything I'd previously purchased from the big box home improvement stores.

Q: I'm looking for a water base stain that will not be shiny. Is this a flat stain?

It is flat. If you seal it with a varnish you can change that to flat, semi gloss, gloss.
