Storage of Additives
Life of Product
Water-based products do not last forever, even when unopened. General Finishes products are best used within 1 year of the manufacture date listed on the bottom of the bottle. The life of the product may be extended with proper care and storage.
Storage Tips
Water-based finishes crystalize and form a skin due to evaporation containers are open. The following best practices will increase the life of your product:
- Keep the bottle closed when not in use. Pour what you will use into a bowl, paper cup, or plate, and close the lid as you work.
- Store in moderate temperatures. Follow best practices by avoiding temperatures below 50°F/10°C or above 100°F/26°C. Our topcoat additives will not freeze due to the high solvent content; however, heat-damaged product cannot be revitalized. Temperature-controlled spaces, such as a basement, are ideal for storage. Do not store product in an attic, garage, in direct sunlight, or next to something hot like a water heater or furnace.
Storing Mixed Product

Hand protection
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
