## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which gel stain can be used on exterior surfaces?**
A: The Varathane gel stains can.  Others marked exterior use can.  
Yes, it's meant for that and other uses.  The gel formula means it works on vertical surfaces better without dripping.  

I bought V Red Mahogany and the Cabernet color they recommended when I asked for more of a red, and used Cabernet which looks great.  
You need to seal it with their Varathane Spar Urethane water based (or oil based but water is easier and doesn't yellow).
Try the colors 1st.  

I found Mahogany's are all different, even red Mahogany.  Some are black.

**Q: I would like to restain a partially faded exterior door. Will this gel stain look even or will the faded areas look lighter after staining?**
A: We did the same to our exterior door. 1 quart was enough to put on two coats to get even coverage. Don't forget the sealer as it is an exterior surface.

**Q: Would this work on a vinyl cover for an outdoor spa? Does it hold up under flexing and miosture?**
A: Vinyl spa cover will flex too much for this. Try using a specialty vinyl paint instead.

**Q: Will this oil-based stain cause significant warping vs water-based?  Staining boards with a high propensity to warp.**
A: Yes it did before we pulled it I dropped s glass of water and it warped instantly

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BLACK GEL STAIN
*by A***R on March 6, 2025*

OMG..... I love this gel stain! I used this for 6 interior doors and 2 built-in desks for a total transformation of our business office. This DIY project took my old shabby looking oak to a new modern look with this amazing black gel stain. It was much thicker than I had imagined, making it ultimately easier to work with, a quart goes a long way and I did find using a rag to apply was the best method for this gel stain. It dried fairly quickly, I applied two coats and the coverage was AMAZING! This was one of a 3 step process that I used to complete my project but this was the major part of the project and the finish look is incredible. I am very please with the outcome and very worth the small investment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect product for your home projects
*by N***A on July 21, 2025*

I am in love with this product! it helped me to renew my kitchen and worked perfectly fine on the old treated surfaces of the cabinets. The texture, the color are as expected.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A New Experience
*by L***9 on April 30, 2025*

This stain is a very rich stain. It is easy to use. It does not run like the regular wood stain. Clean up requires the use of mineral spirit. I used Dollar Tree brushes for a faux wood finish. It takes 24 hours or longer for the stain to cure correctly for good durability. In my experience, the drying time took longer than the listed dry time on the can. It maybe due to the amount of stain that I applied to my projects but I love the end results. I sealed it with a water-based polyurethane. The price is about the same as Home Depot or Walmart. This product is versatile. It can be applied to an existing stain project for refresh the look.
