I need to find a new wiping stain.
In the past, I used Carver Tripp - which has been gone for several years now.
Is Old Masters any good?

Old Masters isn't bad. I use MinWax gel stain and it works pretty good. I try to stick with the gel stains if I can.
I used to use Bartleys but haven't seen it much anymore.

I've had good results with Varathane's oil stains and both the water-based and oil stains by General Finishes.

GF's oil based gel stains have worked very well for me.

Sherwin williams (parent of Minwax) makes a full line of very good wiping stains; available at their paint stores.

Thanks gents!
Lowes has the Minwax gell and there's a SW store local so I'll check them out first.
