Default Gel Stain question

I take it you have tried General finishes as well.

I didn't realize that gel products have been around
that long.

Between gel stains and needing to learn how to
spray, I'll be a busy boy this summer.

I'm going to the Charlotte woodworking show
tomorrow and hope to learn some more.

Yep... there is a LOT to be said for a business
that lasts that long.

Pat I happened by them by accident. I read an article indicating that
Barleys had been bought by Lawrence McFadden and so I went to the site. I
inquired about like colors to Barleys and in doing so they wanted to know if
I had a particular Bartley color on hand. I ended up sending to them a 1/2
pint of Bartley stain for 2 quarts of my choice of LMF in return. I loved
the LMF Gel Varnish.
If you give them a call they will send you an order form that indicates the
case pricing. They are a relatively small and still family owned business
that has been in business since 1875. A small business that has been in
business for over 125 years must be doing something right. ;~)
Of all the Gel varnishes and stains that I have used, this product seems to
be the cream of the crop.
