General Finishes®, ENDURO® Clear Poly Flat, Quart
A favorite of professional/industrial finishers and OEM manufacturing facilities, Enduro Clear 1K Poly is a premium non-yellowing water-based self-crosslinking polyurethane-fortified topcoat that delivers a clear, tough, durable, and abrasion-resistant finish. Now available in a Dead Flat sheen, it is clear drying, low odor, and easy to use. Clear 1K Poly can be used on any project where more solids (28%) and durability are desired. Learn more about General Finishes' entire finishing system of clear and pigmented primers, acrylic and polyurethane clears, pigmented topcoats and water-based stains. Do NOT use GF Enduro Clear Poly or any other clear coat, over white or light paints such as GF Milk Paint, or GF White Poly as it may cause yellowing. Any clear coat can become reactive over wood substrates or existing finishes causing tannin, stain or dye bleed-through. All of GF's White Paints, brushable or spray versions, do NOT require a topcoat.
- Spills may be able to be removed from fabric and carpet if cleaned immediately with soap and water.
- General Finishes products do not last forever, even when unopened. They are best used within 1 year. The life of the product may be extended with proper can closure and storage conditions. (see Storage Tips below).
- Water-based products can last 3-5 years if the can is unopened, in good condition and stored in correct temperatures.
- Product that is 3 years old will not look like product that is 6 months to 1 year old. You will see more stratification or separation as the product ages. Settling is natural. Always stir thoroughly before using.
- If your product has a foul smell, it is contaminated and no longer in useable condition.
- Water-based finishes crystalize and form a skin due to evaporation when the air-tight seal on a can is broken at first use.
- 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 product stir with a paint mixing attachment on a drill. If the solids dissolve and clumps smooth out after mixing from the bottom, the product is in good condition for use. Inability to reincorporate large, chunky lumps after stirring for several minutes is an indication that the product has frozen and can no longer be used.
