Long Drying Time
Customers have mixed feelings about the long drying time of the General Finishes Oil Base Gel Stain.

Highlights
Quality
The application, adhesion, and final product is outstanding.
This was a very easy project and the gel stain was extremely easy to apply with some light sanding.
Only drawback is it doesn't dry quickly and requires some patience for additional coats.
It looked so good and was so easy to apply that i ended up staining all the woodwork in my home.
Price
I know it looks like a big price tag, but it is worth every penny.
Worth paying the extra money for vs.
Competitiveness
The quality in general finishes is worth the extra $ compared to other brands!
This is no better than any of the others i have used but cost twice as much.
