제너럴 피니시스 젤 스테인, 그레이

The heavy body is exactly what I needed for vertical cabinet doors—it stayed put with zero drips, unlike the thin liquid stains I've fought with before. The gray came out even and rich after one coat, and wiping it off felt almost like applying a thick cream rather than a stain.

This gel goes on thick but smooths out beautifully, giving a really rich, even gray tone. I used it on an old oak table and the heavy body kept it from soaking in too fast, which made blending a breeze.

This gray gives such a rich, even color without blotching, even on tricky pine. I was worried it would hide the wood grain, but it actually leaves a nice, clear finish that feels smooth to the touch.
