To protect your projects, topcoat with Varathane Premium Interior or Outdoor Polyurethane after gel stain dries for minimum of 4 hours.

Review: BLACK GEL STAIN - OMG..... I love this gel stain! I used this for 6 interior doors and 2 built-in desks for a total transformation of our business office. This DIY project took my old shabby looking oak to a new modern look with this amazing black gel stain. It was much thicker than I had imagined, making it ultimately easier to work with, a quart goes a long way and I did find using a rag to apply was the best method for this gel stain. It dried fairly quickly, I applied two coats and the coverage was AMAZING! This was one of a 3 step process that I used to complete my project but this was the major part of the project and the finish look is incredible. I am very please with the outcome and very worth the small investment.
Review: Will buy again - Great color. Perfect for my stair rails.

Great color. Perfect for my stair rails.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not as 'black' as it says, but will get there with effort.
*by F***N on December 1, 2025*

Had some difficulty getting the stain to truly blacken a piece I was working on. Eventually, after enough coats, I had the sheen and blackness I desired. I think next time, I'll try ebonizing the wood first. This stuff does dry rock hard, and is impossible to remove without sanding, so in addition to a proper finish coat, it's a durable finish.
