Gel Finishes tend to be extremely easy to use providing you IMMEDIATELY
remove the excess as indicated in the directions. Typically you do not
need to sand between coats.

One of the advantages claimed for gel finishes is that they blotch less.
I tried out one of the General ones shortly after they came out. A good
finish, but it blotched just as much as the liquid ones.

I still like a dye followed by a clear coat (usually Tried&True) or a dye
mixed in with dewaxed shellac (SealCoat).
