Strongly advisable to pre-sand to your usual preference I wouldn't go much beyond grit , brush some water only onto the board to swell the grain some, and then re-sand, before applying this.

You will want to apply by brushing on a fairly lot of it and then wiping down after a min or two to penetrate, to get good color. If you don't do the after-wetting pre-sand, expect to want to sand after first application and then apply again. I don't know why but doing that, even after waiting a long time for this finish to dry, and then waiting a week or more for the thinned BLO to cure, resulted in a lot of orange peel and "fisheye" of the final top finish polyurethane oil based.

I tend not to like the water-based poly finishes as much but it is much safer atop this. Some of the alkyd resin varnishes might work as well but I have not attempted. EDIT I have used a 'spar varnish' alkyd resin, not polyurethane atop this now. Came out beautifully, even on the boards I didn't pre-water-swell and sand before applying the color finish. Remain very pleased with this dye.

In some places where the boards have some General Finishes Wood Stain Reviews curl and figure you get almost iridescent colors, almost a hint of greenish tones. I see why they call this Pewter it really does give an almost 'metallic' feel.

If you enjoy working with oil based stains and hesitant to use water based stains this is the material to use. In the early days of water based stains it was impossible to hide where the stain edge overlayed a previous wipe of stain. You ended up with dark edges on even the best jobs. Those days are long past, especially with General Finishes. I always tell my apprentices that if you are going to color a grain there are two significant differences between dye and stain, and that is this: Stain softens and obscures the natural appearance of the grain and dyes highlight them.

You can water dye down to diminish its depth, stain not so much. Try any of the General Finishes and tell me they are not a huge step forward in quick reliable finishes. Here are two pictures of interior and exterior finishes with General Finishes products. By Doug Taylor on January 15, Images in this review. This goes on more like a poly, and dries FAST.

You don't have to wipe it off, and it levels out really well with little or no pooling as long as you brush it out. It levels about like a thin polyurethane. You can recoat with more stain within 10 or 15 minutes. It puts down a lot of color quick, and you could get 3 coats down in 20 to 30 minutes. It makes Minwax stain stain seem like stone age technology by comparison. It will feel dry to the touch in 5 to 10 minutes or less under normal temps and humidity, but you'll want to wait an hour or so before clear-coating it, or you'll be pulling stain off with your topcoat brush.

You will pull some up anyway, but about an hour seems to be a good balance. You definitely don't want to be double dipping in your topcoat can or you may taint it with trace amounts of this stain. Also, this stain will cover over everything. I used light green bondo to fill some holes, and this covered it the same as the wood, and I quickly had it a cherry color to match everything else. I'm going to experiment with mixing in a bit of topcoat to see if I can keep the stain from bleeding onto my brush with the first topcoat, but I'd be more than happy to just use it as it is.

This product is a home run, and well worth the almost 3X cost compared to oil based stains. It will last forever, and save SO many hours waiting. You'll finish projects the same day. I hate waiting. If you've used the big name, big box store, consumer stains in the past, you know that they don't work all that great on certain types of wood. Having worked with birch in the past I knew that the stuff from my local Lowes, Home Depot, etc, wouldn't give me the results that I was looking for. Doing a bit of research on some wood working forums lead me to this product.

I ordered the ebony and was very pleased how dark it turned the plywood. The first photo is of the raw materials and the second shows it all assembled. The plywood was dyed using this product and is used as a custom holder base inside display case.

The blue masking tape was later replaced with an engraved brass plate. By Michael on March 14, Top reviews from other countries. I have used the oil based wood stain under both solvent and water based finishes with equally good results.

The first thing you notice about General Finishes water based stains is the amount of solids in the can. When used directly out of the can without a lot of stirring it acts like a gel-stain; the thick consistency slows down the penetration into the open pores of the grain which gives the user much more control of the application of the stain to the surface.

However, a veryinteresting feature of the product is that by stirring it the gel-structure will break down and it will become a smooth, creamy stain that can be easily wiped on and off. General Finishes has a product that they call a water based dye stain. I believe the term "dye stain" is a purely marketing term because people are familiar with stains, recognize the term, and are unsure about what to do with a dye.

In practice, however, this is a dye…and I like dyes! They can be sprayed either as a light no-wipe application or to quickly saturate a surface and then wiped off. There are thirteen colors available: Yellow, amber, light brown, medium brown, dark brown, orange, vintage cherry, cinnamon, empire red, merlot, ebony, green, blue.

The reason I like these dyes so much is that they can be layered, one on top of another after each preceding layer is dry, or mixed to form a new color. For example, on a recently built cherry dining room table and chairs I created a color that I call Virginia Cherry which is a mixture of 2 parts cinnamon, 1 part light brown and 1 part water.

You can also layer colors like amber, light brown and dark brown to make a wood like poplar look like walnut. These dyes are extremely flexible. General Finishes has a broad variety of stains and dyes that lead the market for both the professional and amateur woodworker.
