Gel stain project: from 1990 to 2013
Here is one of my Gel Stain projects around the house. I think it is a good way to dress up a flip or rental.
About 12 Hours of labor & $20.00 + - in material.
Lite sand (180-220 grit) with the grain, vacuum, wipe down twice with damp towel, let dry, tape off walls and floors, stain first coat wiping with the grain using a sock/towel & let dry, stain second coat the next day.
Make sure to use latex gloves, eye protection, ventilate the house, and listen to BP Pod-casts while doing the work!
