{"title":"Gel Stain","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGeneral Finishes Gel Stain for Rich, Even Color on Wood \u0026amp; Furniture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGel wood stain behaves fundamentally differently from liquid penetrating stains. Because it is heavy-bodied and sits on the surface rather than soaking in, gel stain produces much more consistent color across blotch-prone species like pine, cherry, and birch — and it is the preferred finish for upcycling furniture and kitchen cabinets where the existing finish has been lightly scuffed rather than stripped entirely. General Finishes Gel Stain is an oil-based formula available in a wide range of colors from the deeply rich \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-java\"\u003eJava Gel Stain\u003c\/a\u003e — the most widely recognized color in the line — to warm tones like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-antique-walnut\"\u003eAntique Walnut\u003c\/a\u003e and lighter options like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-new-pine\"\u003eNew Pine\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thick consistency also makes gel stain ideal for vertical surfaces: it does not run or drip during application the way thin wiping stains do. Apply with a brush, foam applicator, or rag, allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, then wipe off the excess. Layering multiple coats deepens the color without the blotching that frustrates woodworkers when using liquid stains on open-grain species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColor Selection Across the General Finishes Gel Stain Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection includes a full spectrum of tones, from the pale warmth of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-candlelight\"\u003eCandlelight\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-colonial-maple\"\u003eColonial Maple\u003c\/a\u003e to mid-range tones such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-nutmeg\"\u003eNutmeg\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-georgian-cherry\"\u003eGeorgian Cherry\u003c\/a\u003e, plus modern options like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-gray\"\u003eGray\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/infinitytools.mom\/products\/general-finishes-gel-stains-black\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/a\u003e for painted-look furniture projects.
