General Finishes Water Based Wood Stain, 1 Quart, Graystone

General Finishes products are outstanding. I am an amateur furniture builder and now use General Finishes products exclusively. Attached are pictures of an armoire and vanity made of white oak, stained using Graystone water-based stain. (Before staining, I dry-brushed General Finishes white oil-based stain on the high points, to create a distressed appearance.) Clear coat is General Finishes water-based High Performance, flat. The stain is water-based, so you need to work a bit more quickly than with an oil-based product. No volatile order, and cleanup is a snap.

If your not familiar with general finishes do some research BEFORE purchasing so you understand what your doing and how this stain works!Tips: stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir and STIR! It comes very thick and chunky. This is normal. Do not use steel wool (small steel will get embedded and rust over time) this is a WATER based stain. Finish with a top coat. GF high performance flat is amazing.This product is thick and not like traditional stain. The color is amazing and prior to the grey stone color, very difficult to achieve. Applying will wet the wood during application and may look odd but TRUST it will dry beautiful. This color looks like it came straight out of the Homegoods Store.I used to have to use 3 stains and a spécific technique to get this color.Packaged with care. I've had issues with GF arriving exploded in the past but this seller clearly knew how to ship stain. The metal rim peices secure the lid.

Little more darker then I thought it was going to be, but a little sanding and toning and it looks great.

Love your products. Have used previously on another project.
