About General Finishes High Performance Water Based Topcoat
Overall Feedback:
97% positive
95% appreciated its fast drying time
The drying time between coats is less than an hour.
92% appreciated its long-lasting protection
The gel stain and top coat held up great even with kids constantly grabbing at the handles. I even used it again after 6 years for a butcher block breakfast bar and it worked well.
The topcoat is easy to clean, odorless, and truly protective. It has withstood my children's rough handling and I am impressed with its durability and coverage.
The product has held up well on a kitchen island and stair treads. It is almost too smooth for socks, but that is not a fault of the product.
95% found it easy to apply
It is easy to apply with other benefits like self-leveling, quick drying, and durability.
Polyurethane-shellac-varnish is easy to apply and levels out beautifully.
It is very easy to apply to dry stain.
93% praised the high-gloss finish
After applying the final coat and sanding, I used paste wood wax and produced the best finish I have ever made.
The High Performance Topcoat gives a nice smooth, matte finish to both stained and painted pieces.
