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.

NEW!!

Old furniture, whether a treasured heirloom or consignment shop find, is often better made than anything that can be bought today. So, why let damaged finishes detract from a beautiful piece when you can repair or refinish it in a way that preserves the piece and makes it look as good as new? Author Jeff Jewitt, a professional refinisher with over 30 years experience, shares his tricks, shortcuts, and tools of the trade in Refinishing Furniture Made Simple, an easy-to-follow book/DVD set that is sure to fly off the shelves.
Weekend refinishers as well as professional woodworkers will benefit from the insider tips on how to evaluate the condition of a piece to decide the best strategy for rejuvenating it, repair and revive finishes to enhance their beauty while preserving their patina, and match an old finish for a seamless look.

New!! - All stainless-steel cup construction is traditionally expensive, but we've solved that problem with our all-new 1 qt Homestead exclusive! Upgrade your current cup whether it's an old style suction feed or pressure feed. This is the cup to use with water based finishes! Can replace any cup with a traditional 3/8" NPS fluid fitting. Features an EPDM* solvent proof gasket and cam lock closure. more............

Now you don't have to worry about leaving water based finishes in the cup - whether it's all day or all week. Traditional aluminum cups not only can react with some water based finishes, but they also are hard to clean. Water based finishes are much easier to clean from stainless steel, particularly latexes and the pigmented lacquers and polyurethanes.

* EPDM - ethylene propylene diene monomer, a synthetic rubber gasket that is more solvent proof and softer than typical hard Teflon gaskets used in 1 qt cups.

General Finishes Gel Stain - General's oil based gel stain replaces our Bartley stains. These products are identical to Bartley in terms of ease of application, dry time and coverage.
