This review is from: Minwax 66030 1 Quart Gel Stain Interior Wood, Antique Maple (Tools & Home Improvement)

We chose 'Antique Maple' as the stain for the insides of our A-frame, wood house. Needless to say, we needed a lot of it. The 'gel' stain is much easier to work with, especially when up on a ladder and staining a ceiling. Doesn't drip. Still need lots of ventilation, this stuff is stinky! But the smell passes and the end result is beautiful.

I also had to order this online because the local Home Depots stopped carrying this color. No idea why.

Years ago I use to sell Minwax products. Trusting the name Minwax was not a problem. Trusting my better judgement after reading many negative reviews, made me much more skeptical. However, I dove in and purchased the Gel Stain from Amazon. The walnut color wasn't even available locally. I had painted kitchen cabinets which I needed to strip first. Once that was completed, I began the framing after removing all the doors and drawers. I used a 1" wide foam brush for the cabinets framing. Once I went to the doors and drawers, I selected a 3" foam brush. This size brush just fit into the quart can of Gel. I started at each end moving the Gel toward the center. Reverse the process, starting at the other end , drawing the gel into the center to blend it together. The more quickly you move during this operation the better. You want to spread the stain out as quickly and evenly as possible. I never went back to remove any stain but allowed each piece I was working to dry about 27 hours before handling. The results were most satisfying. I can understand some of the negative comments concerning this product. There is a knack to applying and spreading it. I believe there is a tendency to try and create the perfect grain effect. There is no time for that as the product begins to set(not dry)rather quickly. Trying to rework an area after it is laid down will result in more problems than is needed. The contents went a long long way because after completing the project, I still have almost 3/4 of a quart unused. I didn't give this product 5 stars because of the rapid setup and little time to tweak your work.

Our local stores discontinued stocking this item, so we resorted to Amazon. A little pricer, so buy locally if you can. We were in need for it quickly.
