GF is ecstatic to present Saw Nail and Paint as our first Featured Blogger of 2017!
This is a guesstimate as GF cannot assist with the performance of another manufacturer's product used in conjunction with our own finishes.
It looks like Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is absorbing some of the topcoat because it is so porous. High Performance does not streak over a sealed surface when properly applied. Most likely the chalk paint is so dry it is pulling some of the solvents away from the High Performance, causing an uneven finish or the appearance of streaking. This happens on the original powder Chalk or Milk Paints also.
GF is excited to announce Refresh Living as our October 2016 Blogger of the Month!
Lisa from General Finishes created this lovely Trumeau Mirror with Efex mouldings and General Finishes products. Trumeau mirrors are wall mirrors that were originally manufactured in France in the 18th century. The French word treameau designates the space between windows.
GF is excited to announce our March 2016 Blogger of the Month - Suzanne Bagheri of The Painted Drawer Collection located in North Bethesda, MD! Suzanne creates beautiful, unique pieces and is truly a master of her craft.
The word "latex" is often a misnomer and is used everywhere to differentiate a water-based product from an oil-based product. The same as the word “Kleenex” is used to describe any type of facial tissue, regardless of the brand.
Today, "latex" is the technical term for a suspension (U.S.) or emulsion (European) of microparticles in water.

The separation is a condition the paint industry calls "float." This is typical with specific colors, such as grays, because of the large variance in the gravities of the pigments required to create those colors. In gray, for instance, Ti02 (white) is 3.4 and black is 1.62. The lower density will float.
This phenomenon will not occur in colors with less variance in densities. Float is not unique to General Finishes products.
GF is happy to present out 2016 May Retailer of the Month, Lindsay Tate Creates!
