General Finishes Wood Turners Finish is a water-oil urethane hybrid for use on wood turnings, bowls and other lathe-turned projects, now made with more than 50% RENEWABLE RESOURCES formulated from sustainable materials that decrease the carbon footprint. This water-based wood finish produces a slight amber tone and dries to recoat in minutes. Because of its unique chemistry, Wood Turner’s Finish is best used as a standalone product on raw wood or over GF water-based stain

Wood Turners Finish Application Steps:

1. Stir topcoat to reincorporate solids that have settled to the bottom of the can before and throughout the application process.
2. 3+ coats recommended. The number of coats will vary by application technique and personal preference.
3. Apply with a synthetic bristle or foam brush, staining pad, rag/towel or spray with HVLP airbrush.
4. If desired, thin with distilled water.
5. For more open time, add General Finishes Extender.  Start with 5%, increase up to 15% by volume.
6. Finish sand between coats with a fine-grade (220-320) foam sanding pad, 400-grit sandpaper or gray non-woven pad to improve smoothness and adhesion.
7. Remove dust with a vacuum, compressed air, an oil-free tack cloth or a water-dampened rag.
8. Wood Turners Finish should not be tinted.

Lathe
Apply on General Finishes Wood Turners Finish  at 3000 rpm using a staining pad, bristle brush, and/or foam brush.

Buffing
Buffing can be done using wet/dry automotive sandpaper after the finish has cured. Use GF Finishing Wax as lubricant. Do NOT use water.

Warning: Do not use water-based products with Linseed Oils or Danish Oils.

Cure First
You have just finished applying a fine furniture finish. Treat gently until the paint or topcoat have fully cured. Allow 21 days for a water-based finish to cure and 30 days for an oil-based finish to cure before cleaning.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

• Remove dust with a water-dampened cloth. Dust can build up over time and may scratch or dull finishes if not removed regularly.
• Remove fingerprints, cooking fumes and smoking residue with mild soap and water. These contaminants will not harm the finish, but they accumulate on surfaces and dull the original luster.
• As with all fine furniture finishes, avoid using furniture polish, cleaners or dusting sprays that contain silicone, alcohol, ammonia and anything acidic. Exception: We have successfully cleaned with Clorox wipes for occasional cleanups.
• Clean up water, alcohol and food spills in a timely manner and use placemats & coasters to protect the finish.
• Future finishes or touch-ups may not adhere properly or perform as desired over a contaminated surface. Some contaminants, such as silicone, seep through finish into the wood and often cannot be removed.
• Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity. These can damage furniture and finishes.
