General Finishes Gel Stains, Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a warm, mid-tone brown that suits traditional and transitional pieces. See the full range of wood stains & finishes.

Nutmeg is a warm mid-brown, lighter than the deep, near-espresso Java color in the same General Finishes Gel Stain line.

Yes. It is an oil-based gel stain that provides the deepest, richest colors of any oil-based stain available.

Gel wood stains are heavy-bodied and do not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oil-based wipe-on stains do, giving more even, controlled color.

The Gel Stain line is widely used for upcycling and refinishing furniture and cabinets, and Nutmeg's classic brown works well on hardwoods and trim.

Its heavy body gives it the most "finishing feel" of all the General Finishes products, applying smoothly and building color predictably.

A clear sealer adds durability to any stained surface. Browse topcoat finishes to protect the color.

It is made by General Finishes, the company behind the famous Java Gel Stain used nationwide for furniture and cabinet makeovers.

Yes. Because gel stain builds on the surface, additional applications deepen the brown, letting you control the final tone.

Pair it with a topcoat finish for protection, or enrich the surface with oils & waxes.
