About General Finishes Oil Base Gel Stain
Overall Feedback:
97% positive
96% praised the color quality, while 4% noticed unevenness
I wanted to match the color of my chair legs with my dining room set which is a dark cherry color. I bought Georgia Cherry and it matched perfectly.
I used the wood-stain to get a gorgeous black color for my stairs. It has a thick consistency and I highly recommend it.
I purchased 'Ash Gray' wood stain but it turned out to be solid gray, not even close to the color on the can.
I was excited to apply the stain to my kitchen cabinet with blue/purple undertone, but it did not turn out as expected.
73% appreciated the fast drying time, though 27% experienced slow drying
After allowing the 1st coat to dry overnight, I lightly sanded it with 220 and applied the 2nd coat after 3 hours.
The wood-stain I applied days ago is still tacky and its drying time is unknown.
After waiting for 24 hours, the stain was still tacky.
92% liked the long-lasting finish, but 8% noticed it didn't hold up
After 8 months of use, the stain solidified, indicating that its durability is not up to the mark.
The first coat of stain adhered well to corners and nail holes filled with putty, but left a dirty smudgey haze everywhere else.
68% liked the low-odor formula
I was able to work with the stain by keeping the bathroom window open while staining all the doors in the basement. It did not have a bad smell.
