DecoArt Americana Acrylic Gel Stains Paint, 2-Ounce, Walnut

My, wood stain has come so far. This is a perfect type of stain - easy, contained and most of all, not messy.

I needed to stain the doors of a piece I bought on FB marketplace, but as you can see in photo, there was minimal wood that needed staining. I dislike oil based stains, gel stains, etc. and really couldn't justify buying an entire can to stain just a small amount, so I decided to give this product a try. The wood was basically a raw wood color, so the color you see here is all this stain! I do believe this stain is essentially a translucent paint of some kind, but it truly did the job, and did it easily! I only needed 2 coats to achieve the level of darkness I wanted. I used paper towels, dabbed on the smallest drop and wiped with the towels. They took up so much color but so much color was still left behind. No smell, dried quickly and was overall fantastic for what I needed it for. I used Maple here, but also purchased Oak, which didn't seem too different in color. I have SO much Maple left, so I can see this being used for a long time to come. Seriously made staining this piece so much easier.

I used this to paint some light fixtures darker. It looks great and was easy to use. Any issues I had were my errors but this gel is very forgiving and cleans up easily.

This is more Paint than stain. Luckily I tested on the no show area of my project so no harm done. I tried adding a little water and was able to achieve the lighter color i needed. See honey pot photo.

It works fast and is easy to apply

Great product!

This stain is easy to use. The Maple color is darker than some other companies' light maple. Simple and easy.

The product is probably fine - haven't used it yet. It took way too long to get it, though. And this was on Prime! Not sure if the seller is the problem or what, but it took a long time. Other than that, all's good. Just a heads up for anyone who's in a hurry.

Great value....colour was spot on

Really like this product. Easy to use and good coverage.

Ainda não usei, mas tenho certeza que vai deixar minhas caixas de MDF e meus quadros lindos.

Great for touch up, makes old furniture look new again!

Not very thick fro a gel Very small amount compared to price.
