General Finishes oil-based Gel Stain is a thick, wipe-on interior stain that sits near the wood surface for even color on pine, maple, plywood, veneers, and many existing finishes after cleaning and scuff sanding. Nutmeg is a popular interior color for cabinets, furniture, doors, and trim. Do not spray. Pair with a clear topcoat.
At about 150 to 200 sq ft per quart per coat, one quart covers a typical kitchen of cabinet frames in one coat; plan a second coat for deeper color.
Seal fully dry stain with three coats of a compatible General Finishes topcoat. Wait at least 72 hours, and complete drying, before applying High Performance or another water-based topcoat over this oil stain.
