Can GF's Gel Stain Be Used On Outdoor Furniture?

ANSWER

We do not recommend using GF's Gel Stain outside. If your furniture will be resting under a cover and not exposed to water, it is possible to have a successful result. With that said, we recommend our Milk Paint or Exterior 450 products instead.

Exterior 450 Water Based Wood Stains are premium quality, exterior pigmented stains designed for outdoor projects such fences, patio furniture, garage doors, entrance doors, outdoor kitchens and interior windows. It is not recommended as a deck finish. Fortified with UV absorbers to help minimize fading and maximize performance, Exterior 450's built-in mildewcide retards mold and mildew growth.
