What is gel stain and how is it used to enhance the appearance of wood surfaces?

Gel stain is a type of wood stain that has a thick, gel-like consistency. It is used to enhance the appearance of wood surfaces by providing a more even and consistent color application compared to traditional liquid stains. Gel stain is applied by brushing or wiping it onto the wood surface, allowing it to penetrate the wood and enhance its natural grain and texture. It is often used to achieve a more uniform and professional-looking finish on furniture, cabinets, and other wood surfaces.
