There are four benefits to using sanding sealer as the first seal coat prior to topcoat
Yes! But you must follow a few simple rules to be sure you achieve the best possible finish.
General Finishes Professional Enduro White Undercoat is similar to General Finishes Sanding Sealer with the addition of white colorant to provide a primer undercoat for white/off-white wood finishes. Want to tint to a darker color? Use Enduro Deep Base Primer instead.
The term for a cloudy, milky appearance in the finish is Blush. There are three causes:
1. The most common reason is an incompatible stain. For example, using a water-based topcoat over an oil-based based stain. When the top coat is applied, the oil in the stain seeps up through the finish and reacts with the acrylic causing a chemical blush.
Traditionally, flat topcoats were created by adding matting agents to gloss topcoat. These agents decreased the durability of the topcoat and produced a slight haze that reduced the vibrancy of an underlying stain or paint.
Using newly patented polymer resin technology, matting agents are no longer required. Our new Dead Flat topcoats produce a brilliant clear finish while providing significant improvements to chemical, water and mar resistance.
The term for white or cloudy marks is blush, caused by some type of moisture in the finish. Alcohol damage is more severe than water rings.
General Finishes tests all our topcoats against both isopropyl and denatured alcohol with results showing recovery within an hour.
In most cases, the white mark will fade if the spill is cleaned up in a timely manner. If the alcohol had been sitting on the surface for an extended period then it might not be able to bounce back.
Enduro-Var II is a reformulation of our original oil-modified, ambering, water-based topcoat. It replaces original Endurovar and is made with more than 70% RENEWABLE RESOURCES formulated from sustainable materials that decrease the carbon footprint and is compatible with ALL GF products.
Winner of Fine Woodworking's "Best Overall Choice Award," High Performance Topcoat was voted as the hardest, most durable consumer polyurethane topcoat. It is so versatile that it can be brushed or sprayed.
General Finishes industrial/professional Enduro Water-based Tintable 2K coatings are ideally qualified for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) production, which requires functional properties that are essential to the performance and durability of industrial, transportation, and durable consumer products. In addition to our line of stock Enduro finishes, General Finishes can custom-make coatings for your specific OEM objectives.
