    • Wow - 3rd time is a charm - new favorite
Size: 1 Pint Color: Hickory
This is my 3rd product to attempt to stain some oak trim. First crack was gel stain, then a water-based dye, then this, water based wood stain. The gel stain was uneven, the dye weak, this stuff? Spectacular. I did a side-by-side test and this shone immediately. Goes on quickly a quick wipe and it was brilliantly easy to apply a nice even-colored coat. Blew me away. I did short, 24" sections before wiping and found it was easy to blend. Love this stuff. ... show more

    • Excellent product! Graphite is true to color
Size: 1 Quart Color: Graphite
I've used many General Finishes products for various furniture items as well as a project that involved refinishing my staircase and have been very impressed with the results, especially given the fact I don't know what I'm doing and learn everything from the GF videos on their website and YouTube channel. Anyway, I used the graphite wood dye for an "off-label" use - restoring the color to my photobleached landscaping boulders in my backyard. I have about 30 large boulders the size of small boulders that receive direct sunlight for most of the day and over the years have almost bleached out to a very light gray tone. I wanted to restore some of the original darker color and add some more depth to the boulders and thought the General Finishes Wood Stain in Graphite might work - and it worked brilliantly! I'm very happy with the result and delighted with this product. ... show more

    • Very Forgiving

Review Image by Amazon Customer Amazon Customer
I used this product on my oak floor, which needed to be stained, because it was very badly marked up. This was my first ever floor refinishing project, so I had no prior experience to draw from, and no idea what to expect. But, I found this stain to be very easy to work with. I found it's best if you thin it with water. 3 parts stain to one part water worked very well. It just keeps it wet longer, so it doesn't dry so fast while you're working with it. I did one entire coat, and then two partial coats, which were mainly to fill in areas where I didn't get enough stain the first time. I just sat on the floor, and applied it with a sponge brush, and then wiped with a lint free rag. If you have lap marks, or you accidentally apply it too thick somewhere, it's very easy to sand off, so it's a good product for amateurs like me who goof up a lot. There was also no odor, and I was extremely happy with the result. ... show more

    • Color is beautiful. Thick, easy to use, WATER based stain,.
Size: 1 Quart Color: Graystone
Review Image by AmazonJunkie AmazonJunkie
If your not familiar with general finishes do some research BEFORE purchasing so you understand what your doing and how this stain works! Tips: stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir, stir and STIR! It comes very thick and chunky. This is normal. Do not use steel wool (small steel will get embedded and rust over time) this is a WATER based stain. Finish with a top coat. GF high performance flat is amazing. This product is thick and not like traditional stain. The color is amazing and prior to the grey stone color, very difficult to achieve. Applying will wet the wood during application and may look odd but TRUST it will dry beautiful. This color looks like it came straight out of the Homegoods Store. I used to have to use 3 stains and a spécific technique to get this color. Packaged with care. I've had issues with GF arriving exploded in the past but this seller clearly knew how to ship stain. The metal rim peices secure the lid. ... show more

I tried this stain on an Ikea butcher block table and after MANY failed attempts with different stains and staining methods the whitewash from GF finally got the job done! I had previously used bleach but this stain helped to tone down the stubborn orange. It dries FAST so make sure you work in sections, and I used a scotch brite type of sponge to wipe off the excess. ... show more

Review Image by Girl_stuff Girl_stuff
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. ... show more
