  • 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

  • High quality, easy to use product.
Size: 1 Quart Color: 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. ... show more

  • Very Forgiving
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Hickory
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

  • Goes on streaky
Size: 1 Pint Color: Espresso
I used it to stain solid maple table top. Already that is a tall order for any stain, but it did get the very dark color I was after. Because of the size of the table and the speed at which it dried, it took two people and we have to lap the stain. This left dark streaks that looked bad. Rather than sand off and re-stain, we went ahead and topcoated and the streaks mostly cleared out. A little deceiving during application but the finished product is good. Might have benefited from thinning the stain at the start, will try that next time. ... show more

  • Color is beautiful. Thick, easy to use, WATER based stain,.
Size: 1 Quart Color: Graystone
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

  • Can was dented and had drips around the lid
Size: 1 Pint Color: Hickory
The color was a perfect match, given what I paid I’m disappointed that it was a damaged can that had been opened.
