  1. 0:24–2:30 Apply Gel Stain for Wood Grain Effect From Stair Banister Refinishing, Step 4: Apply Gel Stain or Paint

    Once the base coat is dry, begin applying Minwax Gel Stain in 'Aged Oak'. Initially, the presenter attempted to brush on the stain and then wipe it back with a rag for a lighter effect. However, it was found that a richer, more controlled color and coverage were achieved by simply brushing on the gel stain without wiping it back. Apply the stain with brush strokes that follow the natural direction of wood grain: vertical strokes for vertical panels and horizontal strokes for horizontal sections. Work in small, manageable sections to maintain control.
