I have only been lucky once or twice with gel and blotchy wood.

And, IIRC gel stains, at least one brand, were advertised as non-
blotchy. I was the go-to finishing guy at the Woodcraft I worked at
several years ago. When the gels came out, I tried one without sealer so
I could respond to questions about it. Took the result in to the boss
and told him the non-blotchy claim was a lie.

But they're still nice for vertical surfaces.



Did you work for Woodcraft in 1989? I started using Bartley's gel
stains in 1989.
