Should I use a topcoat or a wax over my paint or stain finish?

The GF gang gets this question all the time.

Even though there is internet chatter about removing wax with 3rd party products, mineral spirits or vinegar, none guarantee success.

There is an old saying in the industry. "Once you wax, you cannot go back". Nothing adheres well to wax and even after cleaning, the wood grain can become contaminated. Wax can penetrate the wood, making future paint or stain finishes or touch-ups difficult or impossible.

This is General Finishes' easiest finish ever and the best oil and wax finish on the market. Hard Wax Oil is a high-quality urethane-solids polymer in a blend of oil & wax that enhances the natural look of wood.

GF is happy to present out 2016 May Retailer of the Month, Lindsay Tate Creates!

Satin Finishing Wax is a special blend of waxes designed to give finished woods a rich luster. It can be used as a polish for rubbing out new finishes or as a scratch-remover for worn surfaces. It works well over oil and water-based finishes, including Danish Oil.

There is no easy solution to this problem. General Finishes Milk Paint has strong adhesion properties but there are several reasons this finish could fail:

General Finishes Fill Sticks make easy work of wood furniture repair and maintenance. They are a convenient way to fill and hide nicks, gouges and scratches on any shade of interior furniture and woodwork.

General Finishes is happy to announce our November 2016 Retailer of the Month, Vinterest Antiques of Hixson, TN.

We named our product Milk Paint with the intention of putting a clear, bright, contemporary spin on an old fashioned furniture paint tradition. With that said, GF's Milk Paint is not a true Milk Paint as it does not contain any milk powder.
