General Finishes Clears
New!
Enduro Conversion Varnish (Water-based 2K Polyurethane)
- This brand new finish from General is the
toughest finish system in the line-up. 2K polys have been around for quite a
while in solvent versions but this product is water-based. Clear,
non-yellowing and the ultimate in durability (think car clear coats) this is
the go-to product for restaurant tables, cabinets, vanities, bathroom
fixtures and architectural applications.
Each gallon comes with a 12 oz catalyst which
must be used in each coat for ultimate durability. About 6-8 pot life once
catalyzed, so catalyze only what you will use. Catalyst jar has marking for
amount.

Enduro-Var Water Based Urethane
- This brand new finish from General is quickly
becoming our favorite. This product looks more like an oil finish than any
water based one we've seen. Cross-links with air just like solvent based
polyurethane finishes to form a tough, water resistant finish. Good for
floors, cabinets table tops, even trim. Easily brushes or sprays.
Recommended for darker woods like mahogany, walnut and cherry.

High
Performance Polyurethane
- High Performance
Top Coat is the hardest, most durable consumer polyurethane top coat on the
market today. It brushes the best of any waterborne finish we've used and
sprays incredibly well to a smooth finish. In addition it contains two types
of UV Stabilizers, one to protect the finish from breaking down in sunlight
and the other to protect underlying stains from fading or light colored
woods from darkening. And with its pure polyurethane durability, it can even
be used on floors. This is a great all-around product and is used over the
acrylic enamels
below to increase the durability. Used with the
cross-linker, it
will be one of the most durable product in the General Finishes line-up.
Water-clear and non-yellowing.

protective finish that will withstand the rigors of the sun, rain, and wind. EXTERIOR 450 is
fortified with UV absorbers to minimize fading and its built-in mildewcide retards mold and mildew growth. It's tough and flexible, and resists the expansion and
contraction of the wood through seasonal cycles. It flows well and dries rapidly to a clear
finish. Also recommended as a finish to go over an unknown finish as it has
the best adhesion of all the General Finishes.

General Oil Based Finishes
General Finishes Oil based products are widely used by discriminating
craftsman throughout the country. Seal-A-Cell sealer/finish is used as a low
luster, "in-the-wood" finish by itself or as the foundation for the more
protective Arm-R-Seal oil/poly topcoats. Gel topcoat is a gel polyurethane based
finish that's incredibly easy to apply.

Gel Stains click

Seal-A-Cell
Clear for decades has served craftsman as the best way to get the that
"natural" look on beautiful woods that aren't to be stained. The oils penetrate
deep within the wood to highlight the warm natural look and the urethane insures
a deep hardness. Follow with multiple coats of Arm-R-Seal topcoat if more
durability is required.Seal-A-Cell can be wiped on or applied with a foam
brush.
