From Stair Banister Refinishing, Step 4: Apply Gel Stain or Paint
After the base coat has dried completely (ideally overnight or for 1-2 days), prepare to apply the oil-based gel stain. The video uses Varathane Premium Gel Stain in 'Briarsmoke'. Stir the gel stain thoroughly to ensure a consistent color. Using a disposable, fluffy paint brush, apply a thick layer of the gel stain to a section of the furniture surface, such as the tabletop. The thick consistency of gel stain, unlike watery traditional stains, allows for more control and creates a richer color. Apply quickly and spread evenly to cover the area.
