General Finishes Gel Stain

Gel Stain from General Finishes is home of the popular Java Gel Stain featured across the nation’s social media for upcycling furniture and cabinets. Gel wood stains are heavy-bodied and do not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oil-based wipe-on stains do, providing the deepest, richest colors of any oil-based stain available. General Finishes Gel Stain produces a durable and easy to apply polyurethane finish. Its unique gel formula is ideal for furniture, crafts and woodworking projects. The Gel form helps to minimize blotches compared to traditional stains, resulting in an even finish even on difficult to stain woods, such as Maple, Aspen or Pine. Supplied in an easy to control, gel consistency, Gel Stains are easy to apply by wiping on with a rag. There’s no messy splashing, drips, or runs.
