According to the EPA "Volatile organic compounds (VOC) means any compound of carbon, excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate, which participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions." These carbon-containing chemicals that are labeled volatile because they easily become gases that enter the atmosphere. They include both human-made and naturally occurring chemical compounds produced by plant and animal processes.
Happy Throwback Thursday friends! George and Rob dove headfirst into marketing at the Dayton School Show in 1986. We've come a long way since the launch of the General Finishes marketing program - and thank god we don't have to wear those horrible lab coats anymore!

To prep an existing fiberglass door that has a coat of paint on it:
General Finishes NEW Exterior 450 White is a water-based exterior-rated pigmented coating for use on vertical surfaces such as outdoor kitchens, entry doors, garage doors, and windows.
Flat Out Flat is a self-crosslinking water-based topcoat that mimics the lustrous look and feel of wax. The increased matting agents used to create "flat look" cause this wood finish to have less clarity, show fingerprints more and provide slightly less durability than High Performance.
General Finishes Enduro Pro Series White Polyurethane is a single-component self-cross linking polyurethane/acrylic topcoat designed for fast build with 2-coat hide capability.
Sand down the final finish with a 220-grit foam sanding pad, and then add another layer of General Finishes High Performance PolyurethaneTopcoat. Apply liberally than you did previously without heavy back-brushing.
Let the topcoat self-level a bit - it will tighten down as it dries.
If it's above 80°F or if the humidity is less than 70% in the space you're working, we recommend adding 10% GF Extender to the topcoat to improve open time.
