Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your work surface is free of wax or oils, as these can prevent the stain from adhering properly. For bare wood, a light sanding will improve penetration. To apply, simply squeeze the desired amount onto your surface or a palette and use your fingers, a foam brush, or a lint-free cloth to spread the gel.
Once the project is dry to the touch, you may choose to seal it with a water-based polyurethane or varnish to protect the finish from moisture, especially on surfaces like tables or cabinets. Avoid using oil-based sealers directly over the wet gel to prevent interaction issues. Clean brushes and hands immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
