General Finishes Flat Out Flat Topcoat, Gallon

I used this on walnut wood, I didn’t want a finish that would alter the natural look of the wood. This product was absolutely perfect! It seal the wood, gave it a glass smooth finish and didn’t alter the natural look of the wood at all. I couldn’t be happier.

I was doing so much research looking for a varnish that would keep as much of the natural color of the white oak and maintaining the knots and grains. I decided on general finishes flat out flat ultimately and was satisfied. Application was so easy compared to a standard polyurethane. There were no brush strokes as it laid out flat almost immediately. Being that it is water based, in between coats one and two there was enough grain pop requiring a very light sanding with 220 grit. The end result was a deep rich natural tone with bold hi-lighting of the grain and knots, there’s absolutely no sheen to it either so no light can reflect off the surface. It withstood putting the finished beam up without any scratching and marring of the surface. The picture of the beam is about a month after applying the finish.

Great product. Functioned as advertised.

This product is my favorite sealer...for painted furniture.

This is by far the most beautiful top coat. It leaves a matte finish which is exactly what I wanted. It dries super fast and I only had to do a couple costs. Great coverage and levels out with no imperfections.

When they say “Flat Out Flat,” they mean it! You almost can’t tell there’s a topcoat when you’re done — which makes me wonder how much protection it will provide. But it looks great and goes in well, like the other GF finishes. A good option when you don’t want any sheen at all.

Shi[[ed on time.. Easy to apply.

Provides a nice semi flat protective finish. The container is very small though, so you might need to order two containers for larger projects.
