General Finishes® Oil-Based Gel Topcoats and Stains are quite possibly the easiest of all finishes to use and achieve a "hand-rubbed" look without all the work. Application is easy with a foam brush or lint free cloth. The heavy bodied gel formulation permits the product to flow out evenly (no drips or runs) preventing uneven penetration for consistent color control. Combined with no sanding (your choice to sand or not) between coats and a quick “re-coat” time, you’ll be finished sooner with less effort and better results than ever before.
Features:
- This is the stain that has the most "finishing feel" of all General Finishes' products
- Woodworkers love the lustrous finish that shows up
- Heavy-bodied, and so does not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oil-base stains do
- Can help you get a more even appearance on difficult woods such as aspen or pine
- Easy-to-use stains simply wipe on with a cloth or applied with a foam brush (no spills or splashes)

Love this stuff
Easy to use, odor isn't too bad. Love the wipe on, wipe off ability - no brush marks or sanding to worry about
-
No sanding between coats!
I apply to each Intarsia piece (before they are glued together) using a clean rag, wipe off with Bounty paper towel (leaves no lint) using a clean towel frequently. Let dry for 24 hours, glue my pieces together and when glue is totally dry, I add several more coats, wiping and buffing with paper towel. NO SANDING BETWEEN COATS!

Foolproof, predictable, re-coatable
This is an excellent, easy to apply, self leveling product, when applied with a pad there are no brush marks, and the final finish needs no rubbing out.Durable- re-coatable, light "straw" like color, similar to a solvent lacquer. Low odor, dries predictably...a GREAT product for the Pro and novice alike.
