Disappointed in the results. Going back to regular product. Shouldn’t overpromise and underdeliver.

Terrible product. Too thick, dries too quickly leaving brush strokes. Needed 3 coats with sanding between coats.

Works Great on my Small Projects
I see a number of negative reviews due to brush strokes. I started using this Minwax product to replace an expensive varnish I was buying at the craft store.

Failure with gel stain. Fragile finish
Spent hours, hand sanding , filling, prepping, staining. Using only this brand. It has failed at every turn. Have a dog... scratches so easily. Heaven forbid if the have an accident, turned area into a dust collecting mess, even with quick clean up. Need to touch up base boards? Even the good paint tape will pull off sporadically. Mite work on NO contact surface. But has failed even low contact areas. We used with the gel based minwax stain, AVOID.
