Oil Based 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, providing the deepest, richest colors of any oil-based stain. Gel Wood Stain is a PFAS-free formula.
