PREPARATION.  Clean surface of wax or grease. Sanding is NOT required on your clean and dry surface. Adheres well to old finishes. Two coats may be required if the old finish has been worn down to expose a different substrate or the blemishes are severe. If there is an area where there is an old finish as well as any peeling areas you will need to remove (ensure you take precautions if old surface is a lead based coating) the loose peeling substrate until you have a sound surface.

CLEAN UP AND THINNER.  Odorless mineral spirits.

SURFACE PREPARATION.  Apply to a clean sound surface free of grease, oil, dirt, shellac or dust. Do not apply to a surface that is wet, or on asphalt, shellac, vinyl or linoleum tile.

PRODUCT PREP.  Stir thoroughly before applying. Do not shake as you will introduce bubbles. Appears as a colored gel until stirred. 

APPLICATION.  Use it well ventilated area. Dries to a satin sheen in the color of your choosing.  NOTE:  One coat will be more translucent.  Subsequent coats will build to a solid-opaque color.  Test your methods in an inconspicuous area. Use a brush, or very short nap roller, but NOT a foam roller to avoid air bubbles.  Apply a thin coat in a dust free area. Wait 4 hours before re-coating if needed. (if subsequent coats are desired or surface feels bumpy give a light sanding and remove dust before re-coating. If applying to brand new raw wood, the first coating should be thinned by 20% by using 1 part mineral spirits and 4 parts gel stain.   Wait 4-8 hours before applying second coat, if desired.

DRY TIME.  Dry time is 4 hours at 77°F and 50% relative humidity. After 24 hours, the area can be lightly used. Takes approximately 5 days to cure.

CAUTION.  Gel Stain is an oil-based product, and will yellow over time if used as a top coat over whites.
