Great way to update the look of oak
I found out about this gel stain on Pinterest. I had to try it because bloggers and pinners raved about the results and how easy it was to use. I couldn't wait to update the look of an oak table that I loved, but didn't match my new espresso kitchen. Being that the gel sits on top rather than soaking into the wood means only a light sanding, steel wool finish and no stripping. The gel goes on evenly as long as you put enough on, then wipe off the excess. On the first coat, I didn't know exactly how much was excess. No problem, I lightly sanded and added 2 more coats (wiping all of each off) to achieve a darker color, applied a finish coat and achieved perfection. With the still wet rags I wiped over my barstool footrails and kitchen cabinets where there were a few nicks and wear marks. Everything looks new and I feel so talented!

Excellent!
I used these stains to redo my half bathroom cabinets, all of my kitchen cabinets and the wetbar. Next is my foyer stairway. It's easy to work with, although it is time consuming, but the results are beautiful. If it is your first time, the Java color is more forgiving as it is darker and covers better so your mistakes are less noticeable.
