Minwax Gel Stain, Mahogany, 1 Quart

I googled to see if there was a wood stain that will cover over painted wood. MinWax came up. Bought it and SO HAPPY I did!! It is flippin beautiful!! I didnt sand my base board either. Base boards were painted white. Wanted wood look. Very much recommend this product!!!!

Bought Gel Stain about 6 weeks ago to paint a Formica coffee table. It went on easy and was given 2 thin coats. After it was thoroughly dry 2 thin coats of satern polyurethane was applied. Finished job came out awesome. Only time will tell how well the gel stain adhered to the Formica as far as chipping goes.

I bought this month or so ago. Best paint for vinyl or fiberglass outside doors and window shutter. Easy and beautiful. Even leaves the wood grain on door. . Throw a mini wax clear coat on it. Looks new.

My hobby is intarsia, making wood images of animals, birds, etc. I love your products for finishing my projects.

This Project is from 3.5 years ago yet the doors remain beautiful and I still brag about the project. Refurbish Vs. finance new doors!!

I have used Minwax since I was old enough to open the can. I see no need to change. Always a predictable result. Thanks.

I used this on a very heavily varnished hutch that I didn't want to spend days sanding. I scratched up the surface a bit with a sanding block and wiped it down with water. Using the gel stain was easy but I didn't leave it on for 3 minutes first before wiping. I wiped it into the surface almost like you would do with a regular stain. I then used a dry brush to even put some of the areas that you could see imperfections. Looks awesome!! So happy with the results that I did two more tables and my mantel!

Had never used or even heard of gel stain. Used this product on a Lego table for kids. This stain gives a uniform color across different woods used on the same project piece. My only question is where has this been all my life?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this stain and have used it on multiple projects. Check out the decoration I made out of just some shims and nails. This went perfectly in my bathroom. The gel stain is a little cleaner and easier to handle...and I like that.

I cannot believe you changed the colors! I purchased coffee which used to be a very nice brown. Had 11 of my 15 doors redone in it. And can no longer get the same color!!! Coffee is now black! I opened the old style can next to the new one & there is an obvious BiG difference in color. I'm so upset and before I realized the color difference I tried to touch up a few doors and now I have black spots all over my brown doors . Do not start a project with their gel stain unless you have enough all at once to finish and also keep some in case you ever need a touch up. It's absolutely ridiculous. So now I have 11 brown doors and 4 black ones!!
