Dye Stains | Water Based

Product Details

Dye stains penetrate deep into the wood, highlight the grain and add a depth and vibrancy unlike any other General Finishes stain. Create custom colors by intermixing; tone by mixing with a GF waterbased topcoat; or layer beneath waterbased wood stain or gel stain. Dye stains work beautifully over figured woods such as birds-eye maple, mahogany and walnut.

Exterior 450 Wood Stain | Water Based

Product Details

Exterior 450 Wood Stains contain U.V. absorbers that stabilize the finish and mildewcides to retard mold. For exterior use only, these stains work well on outdoor projects such as patio furniture, outdoor kitchens, garage doors, entrance doors and fences. They can be applied with a brush, roller or by spraying. GF does not recommend this finish for use on outdoor decks or oily wood species such as Ipe and Teak.

Gel Stains | Oil Based

Product Details

General Finishes Gel Stains are heavy-bodied and pigment rich, providing the richest, deepest color of any oil based stain. They do not penetrate wood as much as liquid oil-based stains, making them an excellent choice for difficult-to-stain woods such as pine or aspen. Intermix for a custom color; layer over dye stain for vibrant undertones. Always seal gel stain with topcoat. For indoor projects only.

Wood Stains | Water Based
