How To Apply General Finishes Enduro Black Poly

General Finishes Enduro Black Poly Spray Application Steps for Raw Wood & Sealed Surface

  1. Black Poly product overview video here.
  2. Watch a comparison of GF paints and pigmented topcoats here.
  3. Work in a well-ventilated area.
  4. Stir thoroughly to reincorporate solids that have settled to the bottom of the can before and throughout the application process.
  5. Test for color & adhesion over existing sealed surfaces.
  6. Thin as desired with distilled water; start with 5%, increase up to 10% by volume. Increase open time, if needed, with up to 10-15% General Finishes Extender if allowed by local regulations. GF Extender will improve flow and leveling and increase open time, which is helpful in dry climates. California Residents: Adding more than 2% of GF Extender will make the products non-compliant per SCAQMD Regulations. GF assumes no liability for the improper use of these products.
  7. Ready to spray from container. Apply up to 2 coats of a primer, plus 2 coats of GF Black Poly. Wear NIOSH-approved respiratory & eye protection.
    • Spray Application: Before spraying, strain through a medium-mesh filter. Spray wet films at 3-5-mil thickness. Medium air cap. Fluid tip sizes Compressed air: .040, HVLP: .043 -.051 or Airless: .1 -.15. Verify tip sizes with equipment supplier. See our spray tip size recommendations here
      • ​​​​​​​Face frames: Enduro professional products are engineered to be spray-only but can be successfully applied to cabinet face frames, edges, or drawer fronts with a small cabinet-specific 3/8″ nap microfiber roller such as Whizz or AllPro brand. Larger areas may not level. Add 10-20% Extender for improved results.
  8. If a faster build is desired over raw wood, use General Finishes Sanding Sealer for the first coat, followed by 2 coats of Black Poly.
  9. Dry 2+ hours between coats in ideal conditions: 70°F 20°C; 50-70% humidity. Be sure to allow adequate dry time for General Finishes Enduro Black Poly You can tell if a water-based finish is dry if it forms a powder when lightly sanded with a fine-grade (220-320) foam sanding pad. If in doubt, wait longer. Rushing the dry time can cause “blush,” which is clouding in the finish due to moisture trapped between the layers. Increase dry time if:
    • Humidity is over 80%
    • 3+ coats are applied
    • Thick coats are applied
    • Applying over an existing sealed finish
    • Applying over products from other brands
    • Layering General Finishes water- and oil-based products:
      • Water over oil: Let oil-based products dry 72+hr before applying water-based products
      • Oil over water: Let water-based products dry 24+hr before applying oil-based products
    • To accelerate dry time in humid conditions, add General Finishes Accelerator and work in a space with good ventilation and air movement. If you decide to re-coat before the recommended time, test dryness.
  10. Finish sand between coats with a fine-grade (220-320) foam sanding pad to improve smoothness and adhesion.
  11. Remove dust with a vacuum, compressed air, an oil-free tack cloth or a water-dampened rag.

Cure Time for General Finishes Enduro Black Poly 
Water-based finishes cure and harden for full use after 21 days in ideal conditions. Avoid placing heavy objects on surfaces that have not completely cured. Treat gently, and do not clean with commercial products during the curing period.
