I have read in several places that a good finish for Cherry is Bartley's Gel Varnish.
I ordered some months ago, from Bartley, and it finally arrived yesterday.

However, it is labeled Bartley's Gel Stain - Clear Satin.

Is Gel Varnish the same as a clear Gel Stain?

Now the web site lists the products as

And you can see that the picture shows "stain" and "Varnish" for each product.
Same picture - different product.

Bartley's went out of business in January - which I found out by
reading this site:

The product is now made by Seagrave Coatings.

What's ther story? Did I get the wrong product. Bartley's is closed
over the weekend, and I've been waiting for the finish so I can
complete by project, working this weekend. But I don't want to start
if I have the wrong product.
