Varathane Premium Gel Stain is a thick, non-drip gel formula that provides superior colour control with twice the coverage of liquid stains. The gel consistency stays where you put it -- ideal for vertical surfaces like doors, cabinets, and banisters where liquid stain would run. It also provides more even colour on blotch-prone species like pine, cherry, and birch. Available at Windsor Plywood locations.

Pro Tips
- Gel stain is the best choice when staining pine or cherry -- both species absorb liquid stain unevenly and produce a blotchy result. Gel sits on the surface more evenly, giving consistent colour.
- Apply with a cloth or foam applicator -- not a brush. Wipe on in the direction of the grain, then wipe off excess. Build colour depth with additional coats rather than leaving a thick single application.
- Gel stain also works over existing stained surfaces (restaining without stripping), provided the original finish is lightly sanded and clean.
