Excellent Stain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used minwax gel stain on a great number of furniture projects. The quality is excellent. Colors between different cans always match perfectly. I also see no color fading in the 15 years I've been using MinWax. Just cannot say enough good things about it. Customer for life.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
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!!!!
Update to Coffee Table
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.
