I am in the middle of a project using a gel stain
for the first time.

Remember the tag line from the movie, "The Karate Kid"?

"Wipe on, wipe off"

Work in a small area, say 1-2 sq ft, at a time.

Complete the "wipe off" before moving on to next area.

I'm not much of a stain guy, but the above worked for me.

YMMV

BTW, got rid of a lot of old cotton T-shirts in the process.
