General Finishes High Performance Water Based Topcoat, 1 Gallon, Satin

I was looking for a topcoat for a mahogany piece that I had bleached and did not want the wood finish to darken it. This topcoat maintained the bleached/natural look of the wood and was easy to apply. I also did not need to apply a lot. Expensive but worth it.

Used on oak stair treads and trim over dark stain. Seems totally clear, did not change the color. Excellent results with HVLP gun, no thinning needed. Very forgiving; a few oversprays formed milky white puddles, but still dried quickly and evenly. Runs can be smoothed with a brush and still dry smooth. Also easy to brush - I applied generous coats but still dried smooth. Easy cleanup with soap and water. It did dry quickly in my spray gun so I had to clean some areas with a toothpick, but scraped off easily. Treads have only been installed for two weeks but I expect the finish to hold up. This is very expensive but well worth it in my opinion, will buy again.

Again excellent finish when applied to rollered paint using foam brush

Was refinishing 3 pine tables and looking for a sealer that would maintain the raw wood look that took forever to acheive with sanding and do it without changing the color, easy to apply and of course seal the wood. Product went above and beyond expectation. Not only was it easy to apply. There were No brush strokes left behind, wood looks beautiful just like I wanted. My 1st time refinishing furniture (heard pine is picky) general finishes is alittke pricey but worth every penny

This product is of excellent quality and produces a finish that is impressive for its beauty. I did not assess the durability as I just completed the project. It dries quickly and ready to sand and repaint within two hoirs. Water soluble, the brush is easy to clean.
