Easy transformation
I wanted new kitchen cabinets but couldn't afford them. The ones I had were that honey oak color that was once so popular but now just screams OLD!!! Well, this gel stain has worked miracles. My cabinets are now beautiful and some of my friends are even inspired and ready to redo their own. I tried using the cloth and the foam brush and could see no difference between the two so, for me, it's easier to use the brush. That's just my preference. I'm not done with the whole kitchen yet because I've just retired and I can take my time so I do one door at a time. This product is also amazing on vertical surfaces with no drips or runs. My cabinets were in good shape and are wood so it seemed a shame not to try to update them. My thoughts going in to this were that I really wanted dark cabinets but if this didn't work I would just go ahead and paint them. Luckily this worked out great.
