<\/span><\/h2>\nSo, should you sand between coats of gel stain? The answer is: it depends. Consider the type of wood you’re working with, the type of gel stain you’re using, and the desired finish.<\/p>\n
If the wood has a rough or uneven surface, if the gel stain is prone to drips and drizzles, or if you’re going for a smooth, polished finish, sanding between coats may be necessary.<\/p>\n
If the wood has a smooth surface, if the gel stain goes on smoothly and evenly, or if you’re going for a rustic, distressed look, sanding between coats may not be necessary.<\/p>\n
Just remember to use the right grit sandpaper (or sanding sponge) and sand lightly and evenly to avoid removing too much of the previous coat.<\/p>\n
As for me, I’ve learned my lesson and will make sure to do my research before jumping into a new project.<\/p>\n
