General Finishes®, Water-Based High Performance Clear Topcoat Flat

Application Conditions: Recommended 70°F and 50% humidity, out of direct sunlight. Variations in conditions and application technique can significantly affect dry times and coverage. Use GF Extender in warm or dry conditions.
Surface Prep: Always ensure the surface is clean of contaminants and dust. Sanding any surface too smoothly can reduce adhesion and create application issues like orange peel.
Raw Wood: Sand with no finer than 220 grit sandpaper. Ensure any freshly stained or painted surface has dried thoroughly and completely.
Pre‐finished Wood: Clean using 50/50 mix of denatured alcohol and water with maroon non‐woven pad. Sand with fine (220‐320) foam sanding pad or maroon non‐woven pad.
Other Substrates: Can be used with proper priming and/or painting. Always test first.
Sanding Between Coats: Using 220-320 grit, foam sanding pad or gray non-woven pad.
System Recommendations: Can be used without a sealer. Use 1-2 coats of GF Sanding Sealer for improved build. 3-4 total coats of finish are recommended.
