Description

General Finishes Oil Based Gel Topcoat

General Finishes Oil Based Gel Topcoat has been a long-time favorite finish of woodworkers, with a heavy-duty oil-and-urethane base that produces a beautiful, hand-rubbed look. Gel Satin Topcoat has a thick consistency, so there are no drips, or runs. Need some oil-based finishes inspiration?

Step 2: How To Apply General Finishes Gel Topcoat

General Finishes Oil Based Gel Topcoat  Application Steps

  1. Work in a well-ventilated area. Open windows and doors, or use other means, to maintain fresh air flow during application and drying.
  2. Stir thoroughly. Even though General Finishes Gel Topcoat is thick, be sure to stir it well to reincorporate solids that have settled to the bottom of the can.
  3. 3 coats of topcoat are recommended. Apply thin coats with a cotton cloth, natural bristle or foam brush, staining pad or pad applicator with smooth, even strokes. Avoid heavy pressure & back-brushing. The larger the surface the larger the applicator needed. Additional coats will not improve durability.
  4. Wipe off the excess evenly with the grain & with light pressure using a clean cloth or high-quality absorbent paper towel.
  5. Finish sand between coats with a 220-320-grit foam sanding sponge or ‘0000’ steel wool. Do not sand final coat.
  6. Remove dust with a vacuum, tack cloth or clean water dampened rag before re-coating.

Dry Time

Dry Time Between Coats

Dry 12-24+ hours between coats when applying over raw or newly stained raw wood, and dry up 72+ hours between coats when working over a sealed surface. Dry times based on ideal conditions: 70°F/21°C; 50% humidity. The more layers of finish there are on a project, the longer it takes to dry. Do NOT rush the dry times!

Inadequate dry time can trap moisture & cause clouding.

You can tell if an oil-based finish is dry if it is no longer tacky, cool to the touch, and if you can press a cotton ball over the surface and nothing sticks. If in doubt, wait longer.
