## Overview

General Finishes JP Gel Stain in Java is a 1-pint, oil-based gel stain designed for easy, mess-free application that delivers a lustrous, matte finish. Its heavy-bodied formula ensures even color control and works especially well on challenging woods like pine and aspen. Covering up to 80 sq. ft. per pint, it offers fast re-coat times and requires minimal sanding, making it ideal for professionals and DIYers seeking premium results with less effort.

## Description

These oil-based Gel Topcoats and Stains are quite possibly the easiest of all finishes to use and achieve a "hand-rubbed" look without all the work. Application is easy with a foam brush or lint free cloth. The heavy bodied gel formulation permits the product to flow out evenly (no drips or runs) preventing uneven penetration for consistent color control. Combined with no sanding (your choice to sand or not) between coats and a quick "re-coat" time, you'll be finished sooner with less effort and better results than ever before.

Review: Product is very good. Delivery took weeks :(
Review: Really happy with this product and the results. My photos are before applying satin varnish. I was on the fence between dark stain or white paint and I’m happy I went with the stain. It is very rich looking and it was super easy. I finished a lot of railing in one day. It does take 2-3 days to dry before you can varnish. Java

## Features

- This is the stain that has the most "finishing feel" of all General finishes' products
- Woodworkers love the lustrous finish that shows up
- Heavy-bodied, and so does not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oil-base stains do
- Can help you get a more even appearance on difficult woods such as aspen or pine

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on cabinets that have been painted?**
A: I actually sale the General Finishes line at our stores. I absolutely love this product. Yes you can use this over painted cabinets. However, I suggest sanding to ensure that there’s no paint that might be lifting bc if so then it could cause the General Finishes not to adhere properly.

**Q: How far does the stain go?**
A: I want to change the color to a darker color of a red oak stair case that Is stained red mahogany what should I use

**Q: Can I use this on laminate .**
A: Yes! I used it on an oak bathroom vanity with laminate sides. It covered it with no problems. It takes 2-3 coats depending on how dark you want it and I finished it with GF arm-r-seal. That was more than 5 years ago and it still looks the same.

**Q: Whats the best way to prep the surface before applying the stain?**
A: Depends on many factors. Bare wood light sand, wipe clean , stain . Previously stained and sealed, scuff or light sand and wipe down with mineral spirits, wait couple hours to be safe and stain
