    Thank you for the comment. I used minwax GelStain ‘Coffee’ color. Super easy and they hold up well. I did this video a few years back and the cabinets still look great.

    Looks good .. what was the lacquer for? If I want to do this on some beams but want them darker, I take it I would do several coats .. would i apply the lacquer to the last coat? How about cat and dog scratches .. how do you fill them in so the stain don't settle in the cracks making them more pronounced? Thanks for any replies.

    The lacquer gives the final coat a satin shine. Not necessary I wouldn’t do multiple coats just a darker gel stain color

    No dry time and the time of year was winter so it was still wet stain. They still look great. It’s been 4 years now

    Laminate is a type of plastic. I’m not sure you can stain laminate but if you want to try it start with the inside unseen area
