Hey there, it’s your boy Joe here and I’ve got a funny story to share with you about using a foam roller to apply gel stain. So, I was refinishing an old set of kitchen cabinets and I decided to use gel stain for the first time. I had heard that it was easy to use and gave a nice, even finish.<\/p>\n

Well, I’ll tell you what, I thought I was being all clever and resourceful by using a foam roller to apply the gel stain<\/a>. I figured it would save me from having to buy a fancy brush or something and would give me a smooth, even finish. Boy, was I wrong.<\/p>\n

As I was rolling on the gel stain<\/a>, I noticed that it was leaving behind all sorts of streaks and lines. I tried to smooth them out, but it was no use. The gel stain<\/a> was just too thick and the foam roller couldn’t handle it.<\/p>\n

My kitchen cabinets<\/a> ended up looking like a kindergartener’s art project. Not exactly the professional-looking finish I was going for.<\/p>\n

Lesson learned: don’t be like me and use a foam roller to apply gel stain<\/a>. Trust me, it’s not worth the hassle.<\/p>\n
