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.
