General Finishes Oil Base Gel Stain, 1/2 Pint, Nutmeg

I had never used ‘General’ Gel Stain before, so after reading the Instructions, decided to give it a try. Key points to remember: stir well before using and intermittently if the project takes a while. Also allow enough time for each Coat to dry, I waited at least 24 hours. I used a small paint brush for the edging and details, and foam applicators for larger areas.The Results are Amazing!! I Love the Georgian Cherry - it is dark, but with a beautiful Cherry Tint that has a Satin Finish! I did 2 Chairs that have the table in between, so of course I just had to do the table as well. I am Thrilled with the Results!

We are big fans of this gel stain. It is easy to use. And the colour and finish are very rich.

This color is beautiful and it goes on so smoothly. The quality in General Finishes is worth the extra $ compared to other brands!

Overall I love this gel stain over any other stain option there is! It goes on so well and isn’t tacky. This nutmeg color came out amazing! Will never use any other kind of stain

I wanted to match the legs of these chairs with my dining room set which is a dark cherry color. The original color of these chair legs was a light natural oak. I bought Georgia Cherry and it matched perfectly. I used a different approach to apply the gel stain and I really like how it turned out. Very even and consistent. I used a 2 inch mini roller (not foam) but a lint free roller. I put on 2 coats. Note: I let the stain dry 24 hours before reapplying the 2nd coat. The product is thick which makes rolling it on easy and consistent. I didn’t wipe with a cloth either so I treated this more like a paint application but it still looks really good. Highly recommend this gel stain. It takes awhile to dry but the time is worth it!
