What is gel stain?
Gel Staining
Like fluid butter, thin-bodied stains go on thin and penetrate the surface. Because Gel Stains lie on a wood surface instead of soaking into it, they uniformly color porous and nonporous areas alike.
HOW DOES GEL STAIN COMPARE TO TRADITIONAL WOOD STAINS?
- Gel stain is applied to the surface of the wood but not rubbed-in like traditional stains; the application is more comparable to painting on multiple thin layers.
- The gel stain is thick like pudding, not a liquid.
- While gel stain does go on thick and sit on the surface of the wood, however you can still see and feel the natural wood grain beneath, unlike paint. With oak cabinets, the grain will be very evident post-staining.
- Gel stain does not require the product to be sanded to a raw wood finish. It can be applied over only lightly sanded pieces just as well.
