About qt Minwax 66020 Aged Oak Gel Stain Multi-Surface Stain, Semi-Transparent
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
87% praised the color quality, while 13% noticed unevenness
The product works well, but it's not even close to black.
The color turned out darker than expected and I wish it was a shade lighter. However, it still looks better than the beams being white and makes them look like wood.
I was disappointed with the product as it did not match the expected color of honey maple. The stain had an orange tint that did not fade when dry.
86% liked the long-lasting finish, but 14% noticed it didn't hold up
I was satisfied with the results of the wood stain.
The stain is of poor quality and very old.
89% found it easy to apply, while 11% had difficulty
I find that the gel stain is not easy to apply and requires skill, despite the salesperson's promise of ease of application.
I suggest using a cheap one-time brush to apply the gel stain evenly instead of a rag.
87% praised the high-gloss finish, though 13% preferred a matte finish
I had tried Minwax regular oil stain before and it accentuated the grain. I tried this gel stain hoping it would not soak on as much and it worked pretty well.
I emphasized the importance of uniformity in achieving a good result, and how the last brush stroke defines the job.
I didn't want the stain to dry to a very high shine.
I ordered a different type of wood-stain as the finish quality was not up to my expectations. However, it was not darker than the previous one. I find the gel stain harder to work with.
69% liked the low-odor formula, though 31% found it strong
I recommend using the gel stain in a well-ventilated area due to its strong odor.
The smell and gases of the wood-stain filled my house for days on end.
I am disappointed with the product.
The wood-stain fumes lingered for a bit and were strong. I recommend good ventilation for about a week until they go away.
