## Description

General Finishes Flat Out Flat Topcoat, Gallon - desertcart.com

Review: Great product - I of to say, I am really happy with this product. It is my first time using it and I am very pleased with it so far. it is a bit pricey for the size, but i got more out of it, than what I paid for it. It really lives up to its name, flat out flat. I’ve always used the polyurethane waterbase matte finish, but sometimes when I would use more than one coat, it would end up with more of a satin look, than a Matte with white streaks. I used 3 coats of the Flat Out Flat on this piece, because i knew I would be using it a lot and it still have a flat look finish and no white streaks. It is easy to use and clean up is easy peezy. Like I mentioned before, I use this piece a lot for cocktail serving, so I’m always spilling stuff on it. I was very happy after using it for a party on a Friday night, wiping it down the next day, I was very happy that it held up. GREAT PRODUCT GREAT COMPANY!.
Review: This Works Great! - Wanted to top coat a sanded wood dresser and not change the color of the wood. It made it slightly darker but not much. A nice flat finish. Easy to apply. No odor and water soluble.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the cure time for flat out flat?**
A: Most of the General Finishes products cure in two weeks. I really love GF paints, Arm R Seal, and Hugh Performance Topcoat. This was my first time to try Flat out Flat . I will never use it again! It leaves milky streaks on the gel stain. I have had to sand it off of one table four times. I finally had to redo the stain. GF recommended I spray on the Flat on Flat, but the weather isn't going to cooperate and my client wants her dining table by the weekend.

**Q: Does it turn yellow on light color paint?**
A: I painted my pantry cabinets from a dark red wood to white with chalk paint and sealed them with this and no yellowing. Key is to apply very thin coats

**Q: How do I use this product? What does “start by thinning to 5%” mean?**
A: I believe I understand it reads "thin as desired with distilled water; start with 5%...up to 10% by volume." This means you may thin it if you like (sometimes it's better to thin liquids a bit when using a paint sprayer, depending on the sprayer). I don't believe you would want to thin it if applying by hand, since it is a very thin liquid and does drip. You must be very careful in your details and corners, to keep wiping so you don't get drip marks (which you can sand out if this happens). Thinning paint to 5 or 10% by volume means just that. If you have 32 oz. of paint and you thin it by 10%, you would add 3.2 oz. of distilled water. If you thin it by 5% this would be 1.6 oz. of distilled water.

**Q: Can this topcoat be used over a sandin sealer?**
A: I'm not sure what you mean by "sandin sealer." You can use this topcoat over paint and stains. If you have an oil-based paint or stain, I wait at least 72 hours before using the topcoat. If I have a water-based paint or stain, I wait at least 24 hours before putting this topcoat. Sometimes you may want to use this flat topcoat over a really tough top coat that a glossy finish to change the look of the glossy finish - by covering it with this flat finish.
