Name: Gel Stain and Topcoat - Fusion Mineral Paint
SKU: 321402

WHAT CAN YOU USE THIS ON??

It might be easier to tell you what it cant be used on because that list is a whole lot shorter than the former. It cannot be used on anything with a waxy/greasy/oily surface without first cleaning. It also cannot be used on a surface that is wet, or on asphalt, shellac, vinyl or linoleum tile. If you are planning on using this to recolor your wood floors, you can do so without removing the topcoat but you do need to make sure that you clean them with a product meant to remove wax buildup first.

You read that right-our Gel Stain can be applied to virtually any surface with no prep (other than cleaning off the cobwebs!). It can even be used on a surface that has been previously finished with a sealer, scratched, painted etc. without first stripping that surface. It’s a game changer!

APPLICATION

STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE APPLICATION. Do not shake as you will introduce bubbles. Appears as a colored gel until stirred with a paint stir stick. Apply a thin coat in a dust free area using a brush, an or very short nap roller (NOT a foam roller-as it causes air bubbles). Our tool of preference for this product is the Fusion short nap, high density foam . Dries to a satin sheen in the color of your choosing. Dry time is approximately 8 hours at 77°F and 50% relative humidity on most porous surfaces BUT can be longer if applied thickly or to completely sealed surfaces. Remember to always test for tack – if it’s still tacky wait another few hours and re-test. Subsequent coats can be applied once dry to the touch. (One coat of pigmented gel stain is translucent – subsequent coats build to a solid color. Test your methods in an inconspicuous area.) Once dry, area can be lightly used in 24 to 48 hours. Takes approx. 5 days to cure.

NOTE: If applying to brand new raw wood, the first coating should be thinned by 20% by using 1 part mineral spirits and 4 parts gel stain (dry time will be much shorter on this initial coat).
