GF Oil Base Gel Wood Stains
This is the stain that has the most "finishing feel" of all our products. Woodworkers love the lustrous finish that shows up when rubbing out the 2nd and 3rd coats. Gel Stains are formulated with a combination of pigments, oils, and urethanes to produce a durable and beautiful "hand-rubbed" finish.
Gel Stains are heavy-bodied, and so do not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oilbase stains do. Because of this, they are often less affected by the condition of the wood, and can help you get a more even appearance on difficult woods such as aspen or pine.

GF Oil Base Gel Wood Stains Review 01/02/2011
I was having trouble finding the right stain to use on my eighties (and very orange) oak kitchen cabinets. After much trial and error, I came across General Finishes online. I tracked it down at Marty's Barn Cellar in Elbridge, NY. The people there gave me some advice and I went home with the java gel stain and the arm r seal. The cabinets came out exactly as I wanted are are STUNNING. The stain was so easy to work with, and the top coat goes on beautifully and dries even better. The sanding tips on your website were very helpful, too. Even the professional we have helping us with the rest of the kitchen renovations was impressed. I am telling everyone about your stains as not many people in this area are familiar with them. Thank you!

GF Oil Base Gel Wood Stains Review 01/02/2011
Your Gel Stains work equally well on all the various woods we sell. Nome of the usual blotchiness or uneven results found with the products we carried previously

This stain is truly amazing. It is user friendly. The best part about it is it can be layered to achieve the depth of color you like without looking like a paint. love, love, love it!
