Graystone Water-Based Wood Stain, 1 Pint

General Finishes' water-based stains offer all the advantages of oil-based stains. They spread easily, can be repaired, blended effortlessly, and have ample open time. The thicker formula allows for controlled penetration, which helps to reduce blotching on softer woods such as aspen, pine, and maple. High-quality pigments produce rich, dark colors, and the stains can be hand-applied or sprayed.

Designed for indoor use only, these stains are formulated to provide a workability similar to that of oil-based stains, with a low odor, low VOC, and water-based cleanup. They are also noncombustible, making them a safer choice for DIY projects and professional applications.

The versatility of General Finishes' water-based wood stains allows for the creation of custom colors. Users can intermix different GF water-based stains or paints, or they can mix the stains with any GF water-based topcoat to tint and tone the finish as desired.

The controlled penetration of the thicker formula ensures a more consistent and even application, reducing the risk of blotching on softer wood species. This makes the stains well-suited for a wide range of woodworking projects, from furniture refinishing to cabinetry and more.

Despite their water-based composition, these stains still deliver the rich, dark colors associated with traditional oil-based products. The high-quality pigments provide excellent color saturation and depth, allowing users to achieve the desired aesthetic without compromising on quality or performance.

The low-odor and low-VOC formulation of the stains make them a more environmentally friendly choice compared to solvent-based alternatives. The water-based cleanup also simplifies the application process and reduces the need for specialized cleaning solvents.

Lastly, the noncombustible nature of the stains adds an extra layer of safety, particularly in workshop or studio environments where fire risk is a concern. This feature, combined with the overall ease of use and consistent results, makes General Finishes' water-based wood stains a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of woodworking projects.
