General Finishes Professional Water Based Wood Coatings
Go Green With General Finishes Environmentally Friendly Products

For twenty years General Finishes has been a recognized pioneer of the development of waterborne stains and finishes. Our topcoats have won three prestigious national competitions against numerous major manufacturers (see Fine Woodworking Magazine issues Dec/1996, Nov/1998, and Dec/2006). Our new stain technology has been the catalyst in our growth. Although by size not in the category of a major manufacturer, you will find our customer service and high quality products will provide major benefits to your business.

In 2006 the purchase of Compliant Spray Systems, the Enduro topcoat products and AccuSpray line further strengthened our position. All Enduro products listed below are available in one gallon cans, five gallon pails and 55 gallon drums. They are designed for spray applications and do not require thinning. Stir well and strain before using. For a PDF version of General Finishes Professional Enduro information, click here.

Professional Exterior 450 NEW

Designed for exterior wood applications, EXTERIOR 450 varnish provides your wood with a tough, protective finish that will withstand the rigors of the sun, rain, and wind. Ideal for outdoor furniture, doors, and case goods, EXTERIOR 450 is fortified with UV absorbers to help minimize fading and maximize performance. Its built-in mildewcide retards mold and mildew growth.

Exterior 450 is tough and flexible, and will resist the expansion and contraction of the wood through hot summers and cold winters that typically causes cracking and peeling. Available in Satin and Semi-Gloss, it flows well and dries rapidly to a clear finish.
