General Finishes gel stain colors

General Finishes Gel Stain is a heavy-bodied stain that sits on the surface instead of soaking in. That makes color more even and controllable on pine, maple and cabinet doors, the woods where thin oil stains blotch.

The trade-off is less grain drama than an oil stain gives on open-pored oak. The chart below shows each color with its undertone.
