Old Masters Gel Stain is a highly pigmented, oil-based stain formulated to deliver deep, uniform colour with exceptional control. Its thick consistency allows for easy application and makes it especially effective on vertical surfaces where traditional stains may run.

Designed for interior use on wood, fiberglass, primed metal, and composition surfaces, it is particularly recommended for woods such as pine, birch, maple, poplar, and cherry. For exterior applications, it may be used on the exterior side of entry and garage doors when protected with an appropriate exterior clear finish.

Why Choose Old Masters Gel Stain?

  • Rich Colour Control: Highly pigmented formula delivers intense, even colour in most cases with a single application.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for wood, fiberglass, primed metal, and composition surfaces.
  • Vertical Surface Ready: Thick gel formula helps reduce runs and drips.
  • Custom Colour Options: Colours may be intermixed or tinted with up to 10 oz of universal or industrial colorant per gallon.
  • Excellent Coverage: Coverage ranges from approximately 300 to 1600 sq ft per gallon depending on surface porosity and preparation.

Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Wood should be sanded smooth and dust removed with a tack rag or lint-free cloth dampened with mineral spirits. Repair defects before staining.

Application on Bare Wood: Apply liberally with a brush or soft rag, then wipe off excess in the direction of the grain. For darker colour, apply a second coat after the first dries. For lighter colour, wipe with a rag dampened with paint thinner before the stain dries.

Fiberglass and Composition Surfaces: Work one section at a time. Apply generously and feather out streaks while wet.

Previously Finished or Painted Surfaces: Scuff sand, remove dust, and apply stain evenly. A wood graining tool may be used to create simulated wood effects on painted surfaces.

Dry time is approximately 6-8 hours depending on conditions. For Carbon Black, minimum dry time is 24 hours. Allow at least 24 hours before applying water-based clear finishes. Do not thin.

Safety: Rags and materials soaked with this product may spontaneously combust if improperly discarded. Place used materials in a sealed, water-filled metal container and dispose of according to local fire regulations.

PRO TIP

Always test your colour on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area before starting. Because Gel Stain is highly pigmented, small adjustments in wipe-off technique can significantly affect the final depth and tone.
