Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Gel stain is a godsend for maple and poplar. I mix a ratio of 3:3:1 black, java, and gray to get a beautiful cool tone stain that doesn't pull amber or green. My only complaint is that the finish almost feels sticky.

The gel goes on easily. Couple of tips - it begins to set quickly so work fast.

Cons

This is disappointing. Very disappointing and it can't be returned. Incredibly disappointed. This does not. Big problem though" "i waited and waited.

I'm a professional musical instrument maker but the application kept asking things like how many gallon a year i use. It’s very disappointing since i have used this product in the past and was very pleased.

If you try to put in on thinner it looks blotchy and you see streaks of the previous wood color. The finish is chalky.

Quality

I wasn’t thrilled with the product but the company has super customer service!

I’m so glad i purchased this product.

Overall however, the product applied nicely and looks great.

Anytime i stain anything i will be using this product….

Packaging/appearance

It doesn't have a very strong odor.

After the cabinet front was covered in the paint i took an old rag and wiped it off.

Competitiveness

No sanding before hand just cleaned with krud kutter.

I'm not sure as to compare it with the competition, i'm getting to want to try it because this is quite expensive.

Thick coats expect approximately 15days of drying time .
