    • Excellent product! Graphite is true to color
Size: 1 Quart Color: Graphite
I've used many General Finishes products for various furniture items as well as a project that involved refinishing my staircase and have been very impressed with the results, especially given the fact I don't know what I'm doing and learn everything from the GF videos on their website and YouTube channel. Anyway, I used the graphite wood dye for an "off-label" use - restoring the color to my photobleached landscaping boulders in my backyard. I have about 30 large boulders the size of small boulders that receive direct sunlight for most of the day and over the years have almost bleached out to a very light gray tone. I wanted to restore some of the original darker color and add some more depth to the boulders and thought the General Finishes Wood Stain in Graphite might work - and it worked brilliantly! I'm very happy with the result and delighted with this product. ... show more

    • Very Forgiving

Review Image by Amazon Customer Amazon Customer
I used this product on my oak floor, which needed to be stained, because it was very badly marked up. This was my first ever floor refinishing project, so I had no prior experience to draw from, and no idea what to expect. But, I found this stain to be very easy to work with. I found it's best if you thin it with water. 3 parts stain to one part water worked very well. It just keeps it wet longer, so it doesn't dry so fast while you're working with it. I did one entire coat, and then two partial coats, which were mainly to fill in areas where I didn't get enough stain the first time. I just sat on the floor, and applied it with a sponge brush, and then wiped with a lint free rag. If you have lap marks, or you accidentally apply it too thick somewhere, it's very easy to sand off, so it's a good product for amateurs like me who goof up a lot. There was also no odor, and I was extremely happy with the result. ... show more

    • Wow - 3rd time is a charm - new favorite
Size: 1 Pint Color: Hickory
This is my 3rd product to attempt to stain some oak trim. First crack was gel stain, then a water-based dye, then this, water based wood stain. The gel stain was uneven, the dye weak, this stuff? Spectacular. I did a side-by-side test and this shone immediately. Goes on quickly a quick wipe and it was brilliantly easy to apply a nice even-colored coat. Blew me away. I did short, 24" sections before wiping and found it was easy to blend. Love this stuff. ... show more

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. ... show more

    • Solid Wood Floor - Walnut Stain
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Walnut

This review is for anyone researching how this stain will look on solid wood floors. I bought unfinished 5” #2 common red oak because I wanted to finish it myself. I put in the floors, spending countless hours sanding (with a floor buffer, the drywall sander didn’t work very fast), to finally be able to stain with water-based stain and finish with a half & half tung oil from milk paint. I wanted to add a review for someone who is researching this and make some suggestions. I had to have a water-based stain for the tung oil. Tung oil is a natural finish that nourishes it instead of covering it with a plastic layer (ahem polyurethane). I have nothing against polyurethane but if I wanted to walk barefoot on plastic I would have gone with the much easier, much cheaper option of luxury vinyl plank just saying. Actual Walnut was not an option. I did not have enough in my budget for that. I went with the cheap option that being red oak, however I am not overly fond of orange, yellow and red being in my floor. I wanted it to be like a medium to dark-ish brown. Thus the walnut stain. I tested out the stain on a few pieces of my wood floor and decided I liked it. I must say that I didn’t really care if it looked a lot like walnut. I was just wanting a deeper color. When I finally got to where I stained the whole floor, I initially wasn’t sure I liked it. It looked blotchy to me. I was almost to the point where I was going to sand it all off. However, I invited some family members who are known to give me their honest opinions. They told me I was being too particular and that they thought it looked good. I did use 240 grit and sanded lightly on the parts where I thought it was too dark. I am glad they did because it turned out great. Some things I suggest to future diy’ers. 1. Thin out the stain with water. This will give you more time between sections of the floor. 2. Stain with the grain of the wood from one wall to the other. I did this and it was the right choice. 3. DO NOT try to stain the edges first. I did this in the living room and I could see where it overlapped. I tried to both buff it out with more stain and then I sanded it with 240 grit. It did disguise it, but I will forever know. Major regret. 4. I suggest using a rag or a paintbrush. I tried using the paint roller for the stain. It did not work well getting into all the holes and cracks. It also did not apply an even coat. I and the person who helped me used a rag after that. 5. Remember it looks better with finish. I am using tung oil but the same can be said for polyurethane. All in all I am happy with the result. And it DOES look like walnut after it is has been finished. ... show more

    • Color is beautiful. Thick, easy to use, WATER based stain,.

Review Image by AmazonJunkie AmazonJunkie
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. ... show more
