Gf Gel Topcoat Satin Pint - General Finishes, Topcoat Satin, Pint

Introducing the renowned Java Gel stain, beloved by DIY enthusiasts nationwide for rejuvenating old furniture and cabinets. Unlike traditional liquid oil-based stains, Gel Stains boast a thick, luxurious texture that doesn't seep as deeply into the wood, resulting in the most vibrant and intense colors that any oil-based stain can offer.

Designed for indoor use only, this gel stain features a satin sheen that adds a touch of elegance to any piece. To prepare bare wood for staining, sand with 120-150 grit sandpaper. For the best results, refer to our sanding video to determine the appropriate grit for different wood types.

You can achieve optimal results with just 1-2 coats of this gel stain, although additional coats can be applied to achieve a deeper hue. The curing process typically takes 30 days in ideal conditions of 70 degrees and 70% humidity, though this timeframe may vary depending on environmental factors.

For a quicker dry time, ensure good ventilation, air circulation, and higher temperatures. It's important to note that dry time and cure time are independent of each other. While the finish darkens and ambers over time, it is recommended to protect flat surfaces during the curing process to prevent any damage.

This gel stain can be applied using a wipe-on method, natural bristle brush, foam brush, or paint pad applicator. Clean up any excess stain with mineral spirits. With a minimum of 3 coats recommended, this gel stain is ideal for intricate pieces and projects of any size.

Please keep in mind that packaging may vary. Upgrade your furniture and cabinets with the rich, lustrous Java Gel stain for a professional finish that will stand the test of time.
