General Finishes Gel Beitsen, Zwart

The gel consistency means zero drips and it levels out beautifully, so even my brushed-on coat looks like it was sprayed. It didn't darken as much as I feared on pine, but the black tone is rich and even after one pass. Definitely my new go-to for tricky vertical surfaces.

I’ve been using this on an old oak table and the heavy body makes it so much easier to control where it goes. No blotchiness at all, just a smooth, rich black finish that feels like part of the wood.

The gel stays put instead of running into every corner, which made controlling the black shade on my oak table way easier. It dried to a smooth, almost polished feel that honestly had me running my hand over it twice.
