How to Easily Update Your Kitchen with Gel Stain

After recently purchasing my new home, I found myself on a tight budget. Unfortunately, the kitchen’s cooking island cabinets were showing signs of wear, with chipped drawers giving the space a less-than-desirable appearance. After pondering the issue for a few months, I landed on an affordable and effective solution: General Finishes Gel Stain.

This remarkable product purchased for $55 on Amazon, proved to be a game-changer. The thick gel is easy to apply, offering a simple solution to stain cabinets and conceal imperfections or update the kitchen’s overall look. Having worked with General Finishes Gel Stain in the past on my rental properties, I was confident in its transformative abilities.

To use, simply remove the doors or drawers, take the project outside (due to the thick gel and potential mess), and don gloves. Before applying the gel, sand down any areas that require smoothing. After wiping the surface clean, apply the gel using a sponge paintbrush. Allow it to dry thoroughly, then reinstall the doors or drawers. While the gel can be time-consuming to dry, the impressive results make it worthwhile.

In my recent project, from start to completion, including cleanup, took just three hours and one quart of General Finishes Java Gel Stain. With 75% of the product left for future projects, the value is evident. The gel stain comes in a variety of colors to suit your preferences.
