Unicorn SPiT Gel Stain and Glaze is a versatile, concentrated gel perfect for DIY enthusiasts and artists looking to upcycle furniture or create decorative art on diverse surfaces like wood, glass, metal, and concrete. Its primary benefit is its multi-functional nature, acting as a stain, glaze, or opaque paint with a pleasant jasmine scent, though users should note it requires a top-coat sealant to protect the finish from moisture and wear.

Drying time depends on the thickness of the application and the surface, but it typically dries to the touch in a few hours.
Dilute the gel with water incrementally until you reach the desired consistency, up to a ratio of 1 part gel to 10 parts water.
Ensure the surface is prepped correctly and use a consistent application tool like a high-quality brush or sponge to blend the gel while it is still wet.
The product requires a top-coat sealant. Apply a high-quality water or oil-based sealant to seal the pigment to the surface.
To begin, ensure your surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Because the product is water-based, you can apply it with brushes, cloths, or even your hands. For thin, glaze-like consistency, start by adding small amounts of water to the gel in a separate container until you reach the desired transparency.
Once your project has reached the desired look, allow it to dry thoroughly. To ensure longevity, always apply an oil-based or water-based sealant over the dried gel. This final step is crucial to lock in the pigment and protect your work from moisture and daily wear. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent the gel from drying out.
