General Finishes Gel Stain
General Finished Gel Wood Stain is a traditional, interior, oil based stain. Fast drying Wood Stain is available in fifteen wood tone colors.
Home of the popular Java Gel stain that has been featured across the nation’s social media for up cycling furniture and cabinets. Gel Stains are heavy-bodied and do not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oil-based stains do, providing the deepest, richest colors of any oil based stain available.
Application techniques can vary, dependent on whether the substrate is raw wood or an existing finish. Gel Stain was originally developed for raw wood applications, but has been successfully used over existing finishes, either by painting it on, painting and wiping off, or by dry brushing. However, there are many issues that can occur when applying over an existing finish. See our videos for several techniques and test to your satisfaction before proceeding.
On raw wood, you can apply by wiping on LIBERALLY with almost any applicator: natural bristle brush, foam brush, paint pad applicator, or roller. Remove the excess with a cloth or absorbent paper towel such as a shop towel.
Additional coats can be applied for a deeper, richer color.
