What Customers Are Saying

The Minwax Gel Stain received mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to apply with good coverage and color results, appreciating the gel consistency that allowed for controlled application. However, some customers reported the stain was too thick, leading to streaky or blotchy results, and that it dried too quickly, leaving little working time. The product may work best on wood surfaces when applied in thin, even coats, but some customers had difficulty using it on fiberglass.

Tooooo Pricey anymore

I've used this for years. It works great. Problem is they added 40% to the price. That was my last buy of this product..Too much money.
