## Overview

General Finishes JP Gel Stain in Java is a premium oil-based gel stain designed for woodworkers seeking a lustrous, even finish with minimal effort. Its heavy-bodied formula ensures drip-free application and superior control on difficult woods like pine and aspen. Covering up to 80 sq. ft. per pint, it dries quickly for faster recoating, delivering professional-grade results with a matte, hand-rubbed look.

## 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
- Easy-to-use stains simply wipe on with a cloth or applied with a foam brush (no spills or splashes)

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***A on 30 July 2020*

You control how sheer you want it by if you want you wipe or how long you wait before you wipe and its buildable as any stain but every layer is so even and amazing I did a lot of research on stains after picking up what I thought was a dark stain buying a terrible brand from a hardware store pic below cropped the brand out. The stain on the inside didn't match the pic of dark stain on the out. Then I bought black stain since its the only other darker stain by that brand my gosh no! The formula was so thick on the black wasn't anything like the other formula but it's from the same line, it came out streaky. so I just don't trust that brand. I wanted the color of this dark java color originally but failing to find it and I ruined the table in the process. Two different "dark" colors messed the table up but this stain by general finishes came to the rescue I didn't have to strip it down or even sand to bare wood. I kept the ugly ruined stain color under (it was red and then a black on top just a mess) it covered it all up in one coat ill put a second coat of java and add more pics later. Best color ever. I included the before as reference please dont hate I just got wrong color TWICE and the formula of this brand just was terrible. I included photos took show how well it covers *uodated photos of final result* Hides imperfections very well. I didn't sajd very good and you can barely tell
