GENERAL PRACTICE:
Oil-based topcoats and ENDURO-VAR II will amber over time.
All other water-based and High Performance top coats dry clear.
Never use any water-based topcoat with long oils such as Danish, Tung or Linseed.
Water-based top coats clean up with soap and water. Oil-based topcoats require mineral spirits for cleanup.
If you use water-based topcoats over oil-based finishes, make sure that you wait 72 hours between the two products. It is essential to let the oil finish dry longer.
For more complex projects with many details and corners or large surface areas such as cabinets, we recommend either ARM-R-SEAL liquid oil-based topcoats or water-based topcoats. Large surfaces such as cabinets or tables and complex projects with lots of detail are easier to cover with a liquid topcoat rather than a GEL SATIN topcoat.
Enduro Professional Topcoats are thinner and intended to be sprayed
HIGH PERFORMANCE can be brushed or sprayed. It can be thinned by adding 5-10% distilled water if needed.
A high-performance 2K coating has a base specifically formulated to be catalyzed with Isocyanates to crosslink the polymer fully.
