Wood Turner's Finish is a water-oil urethane hybrid for use on wood turnings, bowls and other lathe-turned projects, now made with more than 50% RENEWABLE RESOURCES formulated from sustainable materials that decrease the carbon footprint.

This week for Woodworker Wednesday, General Finishes presents Turner Custom Furniture! They build custom furniture like dressers, tables, desks and more.

Wood Turner's Finish does not need wet sanding. If feel the need for more sheen, dry polish with Merka Abralon 1500-4000 grit or Micro Mesh 4000-8000.

Walter Ambrose sure is talented.

General Finishes Renewable Resources Icon - Water Based Finishes

Renewable resources are a recent, eco-friendly advancement in the paint and coatings industry.

They are comprised of plant proteins such as corn; as well as conventional and innovative oils derived from plants such as Euphorbia lagascae, Vernonia galamensis from the sunflower family, and Calendula officinalis, aka marigold.

Gravity can cause some solids to settle on the bottom of the can and slight separation on the top. This is normal.

If working with older paint, use a paint mixing attachment on a drill to reincorporate the solids. If the solids dissolve and the clumps smooth out after mixing from the bottom, the product is in good condition. 

If your water based product has large chunks that cannot be incorporated by stirring, the product has frozen and can no longer be used.

General Finishes is often asked about product cans. Why do they rust? Why aren't they made of plastic? Here is the backstory:

During the supply-line shortages caused by Covid, we are thrilled to have any cans for our paints, stains, and topcoats.
