I did use it onmy kitchen cabinets too, which took probably a can and a 1/4 of another (quart size). I had a lot of cabinets and drawers! I highly recommend ordering on Amazon. It came in just a few days and it was packed very well to protect against spills or dents in the can.Valerie Earnesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15275819794154453950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937506375897576271.post-8820973773935901762017-09-19T10:17:59.123-07:002017-09-19T10:17:59.123-07:00I didn't see (you may have said it) but how ma...I didn't see (you may have said it) but how many cans did it take you to do the kitchen cabinets?

We can only buy it in a wood craft store across town from us in Indy.wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246916038309751466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937506375897576271.post-42737108492221747592015-09-13T21:41:32.875-07:002015-09-13T21:41:32.875-07:00Two things- one, you can still see the wood grain,...Two things- one, you can still see the wood grain, if that's important to you. Hard to tell in my pictures, but that wood look is still there. Second, there is very little prep for the gel stain. With paint you have to strip the poly coating and sand the cabinets down, then prime and paint. So it's faster.
