Gel stains provide great coverage over existing finishes because they are full-bodied and pigment-rich. SHERYL Before getting started, have the following supplies ready: To clean the surface you will either need furniture cleaner, mineral spirits or a 50:50 mix of denatured alcohol and water. It is OK to use solvent-based cleaners with oil finishes, but NEVER use them with water based finishes. Use the denatured alcohol and water mix instead. You will also may need a scotch brite pad, sanding pad, gloves, poly-foam brushes, bristle brushes, pad applicator or roller, blue shop towels, dust cloth and painters tape. Start by covering any glass with painter's tape and remove all hardware, otherwise the stain will adhere to these surfaces. Once dry, lightly buff the surface with a 220 sanding pad. This is not a heavy-duty sanding, just a light buffing. Wipe off the dust with a tack cloth or a water-dampened rag, and then let it dry again. TOM I'm going to start by applying gel stain with my foam brush, starting in the center sections and working my way around the rest of the door, the styles and the frame. Then I will come back and re-apply the gel, enough to keep it wet so I can work with it. Get it into those corners. Go with the grain. Instead of using a cloth to wipe it the excess, I am going to take a bristle brush and dry-brush. I keep a mineral soaked cloth next to me. I like to dab my brush onto the cloth to pre-dampen and then use the brush to remove the excess stain. Always brush in the direction of the grain. Then take a second DRY brush and feather it out. That will take off the excess stain and any smudges. When you are happy with the color, allow it to dry for 24-48 hours before you go to your next step. SHERYL Here is a door finished with 1 coat of Brown Mahogany painted on using our dry-brush technique and sealed with 3 coats of High Performance Flat. This is the same door but with two coats on, you can see it gets a little bit darker. You can enhance it more by using our Pitch Black Glaze Effects. TOM Sanding between coats of stain is not required. Allow each coat to dry 24 to 48 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Ideal conditions are 70 degrees with 70% humidity. The heavier the application, the longer it takes to dry. You can tell if an oil finish is dry if its no longer tacky and you cant smell it. Gel stains have an extremely high solids content. They look and feel like they don't need a topcoat when dry, but they do. This stain is loaded with pigment, so be sure to lock in and protect the color with any of the following topcoats: Oil based Gel Satin or Arm-R-Seal, water based High Performance or Flat Out Flat.
