## Overview

Minwax Gel Stain in Coffee is a thick, non-drip, oil-based wood stain designed for interior projects. It delivers even, deep color on wood and veneers, offering superior control and a smooth finish.

## Description

Quickly and easily give your wood projects a beautiful, rich color with Minwax Gel Stain. This interior wood finishing gel stain is specifically designed to give you full control over the staining process and help you achieve beautiful results. The unique, non-drip formula makes application easy for vertical surfaces. It’s thick-bodied, so this Minwax stain stays more towards the surface, allowing for greater control during application. Minwax indoor wood stains deliver color evenly on wood and non-wood surfaces, such as metal, veneer, fiberglass, plywood and more. Recommended uses include woodwork, furniture, doors, molding, trim, cabinets, and accessories. For best results, pre-treat bare wood surfaces with Minwax Pre-Stain Conditioner to ensure you get the most uniform color. Ideal for interior wood projects but can be used on exterior surfaces as well (exterior surfaces must be top coated with an exterior clear protective finish). To apply, use a clean cloth, wood stain brush, or foam applicator to apply Minwax Gel Stain liberally in the direction of the grain. After 3 minutes, wipe in the direction of the grain to remove excess stain. Reapply after 8-10 hours to deepen the color. Wait 24 hours before applying any Minwax protective finish. Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care products. Since 1904, we have been inspiring consumers to Keep on Finishing. We offer consumers a complete line of products to meet every wood finishing project.

Review: Ease of use with gel stain - I have used gel stain over painted furniture, unfinished wood and on previously stained wood. The coverage is amazing. This is something that goes on like paint. You can use a brush or staining pad. I have used both. You can put it on and wipe off excess or add on to make it darker. I love the color variation on this one. It holds up without even using a top coat. I am amazed at the things you can use with the gel stain. Very durable over time and use, quality is amazing and smooth finish. If you never used this before you will notice it is thick. You don’t have to stir much. Sometimes I don’t stir because it’s thick and the color is already there. It’s user friendly. I would choose gel stain over any regular stain. Another great product from Minwax. I do a lot of work on furniture finishing with stain and paint for my paid hobby. I love it and like to try different things.
Review: Amazing kitchen transformation! - I used this to stain my boring builder grade honey oak colored kitchen cabinets. Initially I found it difficult to work with, but I had never used gel stain before so I just had to learn to work with it. I cleaned the cabinets with TSP, then applied two coats of this stain and finished with Minwax Poly-Acrylic Top Coat in Satin finish. The first coat of stain I began to wonder if I had made a humongous mistake, but by the time I got the second coat on, it filled in all the random spots and looked really good. The stain does scratch off easily, so I think using a top coat is very important. Now that mine are sealed with several layers of the poly-acrylic I haven't had any issues with the stain coming off. This stain is very dark, anything beyond 2 coats may look black. I've had several people say my cabinets are black from pictures, but it is clear in the home that they are just dark brown. I needed 2 of these containers for 2 coats on the outside/inside cabinet doors, the cabinet trim edges, and the cabinet kick plates as well as the cabinet sides. I discovered that while my doors were solid wood, the sides of the cabinet boxes were veneer, but with this stain you can't tell they aren't solid high end wood. This is a great product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know why stain is so expensive on Amazon? Shipping?**
A: I have prime and it seems to be the same as in store with my prime. If you have prime just filter answers to prime shipping only

**Q: I have a water based primered wood ,can stain over it?**
A: the main thing is the grain. this gel stain inhances grain when staining un painted... if your primered wood has grain it should enhance... great stuff.  I stained a 2 inch space board over wood floors and matched it perfectly

**Q: Do you need to sand before applying gel stain?**
A: Depends on what you are staining, but mostly, if the surface is very rough, you need to sand.  Otherwise I found that the gel stain covers so well, especially the darker colors, that I did not need to sand.

**Q: is this for interior and exterior staining and spar urethane finish?**
A: We use it mainly on stuff inside the house, but have used it on things outside but after staining and its dry we use a water proof sealer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like super thick paint
*by N***E on May 12, 2024*

You can paint it on anything and it covers everything. I even painted over the wood filler and the totally uneven worn finish on the table. It looks great with minimal effort. It is super easy to be neat because it is so thick and a little goes a long way. You can still see the imperfections in the wood unless you sand them away but the improvement is amazing. I did one good coat with Mahogany stain with a touch up coat, and three coats of Minwax 63333 Clear Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish Satin. It looks great compared to the original but you can still see any wood imperfections if the light hits it right. I found the fumes to linger and be a bit strong (although maybe I made it on too thick) so I would recommend good ventilation for about a week until the fumes go away.
