Old Masters, Oil-Based Gel Stain, Golden Oak, Pint
Old Masters Gel Stain is a highly pigmented, oil-based stain designed to achieve intense colors on interior and exterior wood, fiberglass, primed metal and composition surfaces. Its thick formula allows easy application and superior color control, necessary to achieve a rich and uniform color on most surfaces in a single application. Ideal for difficult-to-stain woods such as pine, poplar, maple, plywood and veneers, as well as nonporous surfaces including metal, composition (Masonite), interior and exterior fiberglass doors and plastic moldings. Gel Stain comes in 23 factory-mixed colors and can also be intermixed or tinted to achieve custom colors.
Coverage : Approximately 1,000 to 1,200 square feet per gallon. If the wood is finely sanded or nonporous, coverage is approximately 800 to 1,600 square feet per gallon. If the surface is porous, coverage is approximately 300 to 500 square feet per gallon. Coverage will vary significantly depending on application method and condition of wood.
Drying Time: Approximately 6 to 8 hours depending upon temperature, humidity, air movement, and the amount of stain on the surface. For additional color depth, a second coat of stain can be applied after 8 hours. Ideal drying conditions recommended are 70° to 75°F and 35 to 50% humidity.
** Due to the nature and depth of color for the stain color Carbon Black, the minimum dry time is 24 hours. Dry time may also be extended due to excess stain application or lack of stain penetration.
- Add rich color and depth to a variety of surfaces, including wood, fiberglass, metal, and composition surfaces
- Change existing colors on previously finished surfaces
- Match color tone on different kinds of woods and non-porous surfaces, such as fiberglass

Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dirt, wax, grease, glue and other contaminates or penetration and adhesion will be affected. Wood surfaces must be saned smooth. Remove dust with a tack rag or a lint-free cloth dampened with mineral spirits. Surface defects should be repaired with a n appropriate patching material.
Application Bare Wood: Apply stain liberally with brush or soft rag and remove excess, wiping in the direction of the grain. For a darker color, re-stain when first coat is dry. For a lighter color, wipe with a rag dampened with paint thinner before the stain has dried.
Fiberglass & Composition Surfaces: Stain one section or panel at a time. Apply a liberal coat of Gel Stain with a frim synthetic brush or lint-free rag and work the stain across and inti the grain uniformly, feather out streaks while the stain is wet. Wipe brush often on a lint-free rag to remove excess stain.
Painted Surfaces: To create a simulated wood look, apply stain to painted surface with foam or bristle brush or cheesecloth using long, smooth strokes. Realistic woodgrain patterns can be created by using the Old Masters Wood Graining Tool.
Previously Finished Surface: Scuff sand surface before application. Remove dust, Apply a liberal coat of Gel Stain with a firm synthetic brush or lint-free rag and work the stain across and into the grain uniformly, feathering out streaks while stain is wet. Wipe brush often on a lint-free rag to remove excess stain. If applying stain exteriorly, top coating with an exterior clear finish is strongly recommended.
