Water Based Wood Stains

Water base wood stains from General Finishes

General Finishes Water Based Stains have all the advantages of oil base stains: they spread easily, can be repaired, can be blended effortlessly, and have plenty of open time. The thicker formula allows controlled penetration, which will reduce blotching on softer woods such as Aspen, Pine and Maple.

Water Based Wood Stains Review 01/02/2011

1 year 7 weeks ago

When I saw "new & improved" on the water-based stains I was skeptical (figured you added more water like we did). Now my finish shop looks forward to using the product. Keep the improvements coming!
