I started off my side table idea
by cleaning the whole piece thoroughly with Dixie Belle White Lighting to remove all the dirt and grime that could cause my finish to fail. Afterwards I lightly sanded the top and the legs of the cabinet to smooth out any rough areas and wiped it clean of any left over dust. Apply one coat of the No Pain Gel Stain to assure good coverage. Wipe back the additional gel stain with a low lint cheesecloth or an old t-shirt. That works great too! Tat’s it! Easy peasy. No need to seal the finish because it’s an all in one stain.
