With Varathane Gel Stain, vertical surfaces are a cinch to stain without drips and runs. Tackle that worn out side table and give it new life with wood stain. See how CharlieandCrewDad updated this table on Instagram.
Make sure your area is covered with a drop cloth and place your table in your work area.
Using a hand sander and sandpaper, sand off any previous glossy finish on the table and smooth out any nicks or scratches. Once the table is prepped, the Gel Stain can be used according to the directions on the can. Our Gel Stain formula is thick so that it won't run or drip on your project.
Once your stain is dry (approximately 8 hours), apply Ultimate Polyurethane for maximum durability and scratch resistance.
