    • 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

    • 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.

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

    • Great product
Size: 1 Pint Color: Sedona
I have used this product for a few years now and I can tell you it is wonderful! I have used it on metal, wood, and leather. It takes about a week to dry on leather but it does not crack or peel once it is dry. Worth every penny!!!!!
