## Overview

General Finishes Oil Base Gel Stain in Ash Gray is a heavy-bodied, oil-based gel stain designed for easy application and superior finish control. Ideal for wood surfaces, it offers a satin, hand-rubbed look without the hassle of sanding between coats. Its quick re-coat time and drip-free formula ensure consistent, even color—especially on challenging woods like pine and aspen—making it a top choice for professionals and DIYers seeking a sleek, modern gray finish.

## Description

These oil-based Gel Topcoats and Stains are quite possibly the easiest of all finishes to use and achieve a "hand-rubbed" look without all the work. Application is easy with a foam brush or lint free cloth. The heavy bodied gel formulation permits the product to flow out evenly (no drips or runs) preventing uneven penetration for consistent color control. Combined with no sanding (your choice to sand or not) between coats and a quick “re-coat” time, you’ll be finished sooner with less effort and better results than ever before.

Review: Great product - I have used General Finishes in the past and love how well it goes on. No sanding furniture, or cabinets before applying. However I purchased the “Ash Gray” hoping it would be the color that’s on the can. It’s definitely not even close. It’s solid Gray. So if you are looking for a Gray stain this is perfect. But know it’s not going to look like the picture on the can. I still chose to rate it 5 stars. Like I said it’s a great product, very easy to use.
Review: Ash gray color isn’t accurate - This product is easy to use, doesn’t drip however the ash gray does show up gray vs the brownish color that is shown on the label and in the examples via photos

## Features

- This is the stain that has the most "finishing feel" of all General Finishes' products
- Woodworkers love the lustrous finish that shows up
- Heavy-bodied, and so does not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oil-base stains do
- Can help you get a more even appearance on difficult woods such as aspen or pine
- Easy-to-use stains simply wipe on with a cloth or applied with a foam brush (no spills or splashes)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on cabinets that have been painted?**
A: I actually sale the General Finishes line at our stores. I absolutely love this product. Yes you can use this over painted cabinets. However, I suggest sanding to ensure that there’s no paint that might be lifting bc if so then it could cause the General Finishes not to adhere properly.

**Q: How far does the stain go?**
A: I want to change the color to a darker color of a red oak stair case that Is stained red mahogany what should I use

**Q: Can I use this on laminate .**
A: Yes! I used it on an oak bathroom vanity with laminate sides. It covered it with no problems. It takes 2-3 coats depending on how dark you want it and I finished it with GF arm-r-seal. That was more than 5 years ago and it still looks the same.

**Q: Whats the best way to prep the surface before applying the stain?**
A: Depends on many factors. Bare wood light sand, wipe clean , stain . Previously stained and sealed, scuff or light sand and wipe down with mineral spirits, wait couple hours to be safe and stain

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ash gray color isn’t accurate
*by G***G on 1 June 2021*

This product is easy to use, doesn’t drip however the ash gray does show up gray vs the brownish color that is shown on the label and in the examples via photos

### ⭐⭐ Color was WAY off!
*by M***G on 23 May 2020*

I bought the ash gray to redo a table top. The color was just straight gray. I expected this to be an actual ashy gray but instead it looked no different than the regular gray. I tried wiping, sanding, letting it dry, extra coats, thin coats, etc. It still looked terrible and not all the color as advertised. I would probably use this if I was using a darker color but not the ash gray or lighter colors.
