Water Base Stains, Finishes, Milk
Paints & Special Effects
|
 |
Milk Paints
are the darling of the furniture fashion market. They are
interior/exterior acrylic paints suitable for indoor or outdoor
furniture, crafts, and cabinets and can be applied directly from
the can to produce a high quality satin sheen finish. When used
with Glaze Effects, you can create all the new decorative
finishes such as distressing, antiquing, marble effects, rag
rolling, or color washing. High use flat surfaces such as dining
tables and desks will develop the patina of every day life over
time so we recommend clear or wood stain finishes to our
customers who are patina-adverse. Milk Paints can be used
alone or mixed with any other product in the General
Finishes Water Based line, including Wood Stains and
Topcoats. |
|
Milk Paints are available
in the following colors:
Snow White, Antique White, Linen, Millstone, Outback
Brown, Little Pink, Buttermilk Yellow, Somerset Gold, Sage
Green, Bayberry Green, Basil, Cypress Green, Red Pepper, Autumn
Haze, Brick Red, Tuscan Red, Baby Blue, Federal Blue, Coastal
Blue and Lamp Black. The
digitized colors shown are for reference purposes only. Always
test stain on a hidden area of the wood to verify desired color.
|
 |
Glaze Effects
are translucent water based colors used to create beautiful
decorative finishes such as distressing, marble, shabby chic,
burnishing, color washing, rag rolling and wood graining.
Use over Water Based Wood Stains, and Milk Paints. Glaze
Effects can be inter-mixed or layered to create custom
colors. They may also be layered over one another to create
deeper, richer looks. |
|

Ochre, Red Sienna, Burnt Umber, Van Dyke Brown, Pitch Black, and

Our
Water Based Stains
have all the advantages of oil base stains: they spread
easily, can be repaired, can be blended effortlessly,
and have plenty of open time. The thicker formula allows
controlled penetration, which will reduce blotching on
hard-to-stain woods such as Aspen, Pine and Maple. This
stain formula will make wood staining an enjoyable
experience for you. |
|
Water
based Wood Stains
are available in the following colors: Whitewash,
Natural (clear finish - not shown), Country
Pine, Golden Oak, Antique Oak, Pecan, Shaker Maple,
Early American, Antique Cherry, Black Cherry, Walnut,
Rosewood, Brown Mahogany, Espresso and Black. The
digitized colors shown are for reference purposes only.
Always test stain on a hidden area of the wood to verify
desired color.

This crystal clear
finish is rated by
Fine Woodworking magazine as "Best Brush-on"
in a competition of national brands. It is our standard "work
horse" top coat and can be used in furniture and woodwork.
Formulated to be durable and consumer friendly, it flows and
levels easily and has great adhesion characteristics. It has
strong sag resistance for vertical surfaces and its higher
polyurethane content provides greater durability than other
polyurethane/acrylic blends. Once you use PolyAcrylic Blend
you will say to yourself, "Fine Woodworking was right on!"
Available in the following sheens, Satin, Semi-Gloss, and
Gloss. |

High Performance
Top Coat is the hardest, most durable consumer polyurethane
top coat on the market today. It contains all the consumer
friendly characteristics of PolyAcrylic Blend. In
addition it contains a UV Stabilizer to protect it from breaking
down in sunlight and to protect the underlying stains from
fading. And with its pure polyurethane durability, it can even
be used on floors. This is the most durable product.
Available in the following sheens, Satin and Gloss. |
 |
Sanding Sealer
is a water base acrylic basecoat. It provides initial sealing
for all GF water base topcoats. It can be used over raw wood or
a stained surface. Sanding Sealer has been sterated so it
will sand easier. Sanding Sealer is not as durable as the
topcoats so it is not recommended for a final finish.
Drying Time:
1-2 hours under normal conditions. (70°F -70% humidity)
