General Finishes water based stains have all the advantages of oil base stains: they spread easily, can be repaired, can be Blended effortlessly, and have plenty of open time. The thicker formula allows controlled penetration, which will reduce blotching on softer goods such as aspen, pine and maple.

Not functioning as expected
Was not able to get the fence done properly. Had to buy a different brand.

The description is wrong
This is neither oil-based nor a gel stain. It's a water-based stain. So at least the photo is accurate, but I was hoping for a water-based gel stain.

The walnut stain color is great if you like the barn wood look!
I got the water based Walnut Stain and I actually really like the color. Some other reviewers complained that Walnut was too Grey and didn’t look like traditional walnut stain. That’s exactly why I like it! I am using it on pine and didn’t want an overly warm color and it’s perfect for what I wanted. I did a test piece with one coat so far and no poly, and tried the water based Pre stain conditioner underneath on one side. The side with the pre stain conditioner didn’t take as much stain and the color came out a little lighter, which I actually also liked! The stain itself is much thicker than I was expecting for water based. It’s not watery at all but more like a thin gel. I wiped it off fairly quickly after putting it on, whereas with normal oil based stains I let it sit for a few minutes first. I think if you let this sit too long it starts to dry. Overall I like it and am very excited to use it on a barn door project.

Stunning stain!
It’s fabulous.Don’t hesitate.Completely transformed my ‘weathered’ grey hardwood floor, easy to control, highly pigmented, customizable coverage, a beautiful white while still showing grain. A few ounces went a long way for my project and I used a thinned ‘lime wash’ effect then undiluted lines on vertical grain for variation. So happy I found this due to its well earned, great reviews. Old floors, 1890s redwood, take stain very unexpectedly, patchy. Steps: sand and clean/prep, Classic Grey all over to pull down red tones, wipe excess, let dry, 2nd coat Classic Grey every other board, let dry. Iron oxide ‘tea’ made from steel wool 0000 soaked in distilled white vinegar for 36 hours, strain and rag on (moist, not wet) - wait 24 hours, Apply General Finishes Whitewash with damp clean rag in small areas and wipe off excess within minutes, let dry. With gloved finger, using pressure, draw thin line variation with grain and pull off excess with dry shop towel. Let dry per instructions. Seal with Bona HD (this is a bathroom) or suitable clear water based Varathane twice in Matte or Satin finish.
