Gel stains are easy to apply and can be used on vertical and overhead surfaces without fear of runs, drips and sags. Results are more even on blotch prone woods because the gel consistency limits penetration into uneven grain.

- Oil based, but compatible under waterbased finishes.
- Can be applied to bare wood.

- Colors can be intermixed for custom colors.
- Apply by rag and wipe off.
- Second or third applications can developricher tones.

General Finishes Gel Stain Application Instructions
Wipe on Urethane Stains & Topcoats:
These easy to use products simply wipe on with a rag. There's no messy splashing, drips or runs. Gel stains produce an even finish on hard to stain woods such as Aspen, Pine or Maple .
Application of Gel Stains:
Divide your project into sections,drawer front, table or cabinet top, side of chest,etc. Then using a clean cloth wipe off the excess stain in the direction of the grain.
Be sure to remove all rag marks and smudges. Additional coats of stain may be applied for a deeper, richer color.
However, for improved durability we recommend applying Gel Urethane Topcoat over Gel Stain when working as a "wipe-on" project.
If brushing is preferred or if spray equipment is available, High Performance Poly is the ideal choice for the most durable topcoat. Application of Gel Topcoats:

This is the BEST product on market
We just did our kitchen and bathroom cabinets (which were honey oak, and just looking dated), and used gel stain (grey). We are absolutely HAPPY with this product, we tried other gel stains, and were not happy with the finish. This is without a doubt the best product out there especially if you don't want to strip and sand. Total time saver!!! 5 Stars!!!
Java Gel Stain
I purchased the Java gel stain because of a Pinterest article on refinishing bathroom vanities. It worked very well and I am pleased with the results! Just remember to make sure you let the product dry thoroughly between coats...24 hours would be best, otherwise the stain seems to drag the coat you are going over. Wonderful product!
Worked geat on Birch
I bought the Georgian Cherry Gel stain, and it worked excellently on Birch plywood and solid wood trim on a cabinet. I'm by no means a professional, but this gel stain gave me the control I needed to get a good even stain with a deeper reddish color, and my wife was very pleased with the results. I'm also very pleased with the very reasonable shipping rates and the quick delivery of this product. Will be back again for sure.
