    Really good video. All the videos I watched so far people have wiped their stain off right after and didn’t give it that dark look I was looking for! They made it seem like if you don’t wipe it it wouldn’t work. Glad I came across this! Thank you for posting. I used a foam brush for application and then very LIGHTY went over it with another clean foam brush just to even out any imperfections. But I think a bristle brush might have been better for application. Lesson learned!

    We used this exact dark gel stain (Java) on a pedestal table and 4 chairs. Expensive, time-consuming and had to apply multiple layers to achieve this rich color over what was blonde-colored furniture. Most likely would not use gel stain again.

      thanks for the comment Christy...a couple questions for others who might read this...
      1. Was it General Finishes brand? 1did a table/chair project with 1 qt which was $27.99 for the gel stain and about $35 in other materials
      2. Did you use the wipe-off staining method or brush-on and leave method?
      I found the brush on method (painting on) works best.

    In the lighting and distance from the camera in your final shot, the color is fairly opaque... How is this different from painting? I can see how painting would be the nearly same as the coverage of the color is very heavy the same in both instances. I hardly see any of the original oak color coming through. These cabinets are nearly one solid color.

My next coat for the for the doors and the frames i will use a brush, my question is if i use a brush on the frame will it show brush marks since its vertical and not laying flat like my doors? I know gel stain will settle out on a flat surface but not sure how it will look on the vertical frames still on the wall.?

      I appreciate the comment! I prefer the classic look of grain cabinets so my choice has always been to use stain.

      Great question! In my experience, the gel stain lasts longer as long as you add the topcoat as your final step. I have seen some gel stain kitchen cabinet projects that skip the topcoat and those have had to be touched up within a couple years. The topcoat adds a bit of a shiny look that some people don't like.

    • @gelstained
      @gelstained  3 роки тому

      usually, 48 hrs is enough drying time...is the environment cool or moist? that could extend the needed drying time. Also, did you stir the gel stain before applying? I would give it another 24 hours.
      I did have one project (kitchen cabinet door) that would not dry...turned out to be many years of hand and cooking oils still on the surface that I didn't clean enough with sanding/tsp. I ended up having to strip the first coat of gel stain with mineral spirits then sanded/tsp again and the gel stain ended up drying within 48 hours. The sign to look for is if parts of the project are drying properly with smaller sections not drying it is most likely hand/cooking oil or moisture or dirt/grime deep in the wood.

      2 coats of stain minimum...you may need to do a 3rd, I would say in 50% of my projects I do a 3rd coat or at least a touchup on top of the 2nd coat of stain. Yes always do light sanding regardless of the staining option you choose

    I can’t decide if I need a quart or a gallon for my cabinets and island....

      you will be amazed at how far a quart goes...that should be more than enough for the cabinets and island. I paid $25 for a quart

      more right than wrong Thanks! I bought a pint of the grey to do a vanity in my bathroom. It was $20 for the pint. Where did you get your quart from? The vanity looks bad. Lol. Hopefully tomorrow when I do my second coat it will look better. Also I got it on my walls. We are repainting in there anyway buy man, I’m terrible at DIY! Thanks for your video, it has really helped. :)

      more right than wrong I’m practicing on the vanity before I get to the kitchen cabinets.

      I get my stain at a woodworking chain called Rockler...the grey may be more expensive than the Java as it is a newer color?
      With the Java the second coat looks great so hopefully it will be the same with the grey...let me know!

      more right than wrong I just tried to put on my second coat and a lot of the first coat wiped off?! I waited over 24 hours and it wasn’t tacky anymore. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Going to wait 48 hours and try again.

    I’ve been refinishing and painting cabinets and furniture. I would not use gel ever again. Messy as heck a lot of work! It spatters! Ruined my carpet and specks on newly painted walls. It gets everywhere! Yuk!!!!
