I’ve tested other products but always come back to General Finishes. While it does cost more than some alternatives, the durability, quality, and ease of use make it well worth it and greatly improve my finished projects.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi can I use this over a painted cabnet door as a sealer ?  After  painting I realized I NEEDED to seal.  With the reviews of this product I hope I'm**
A: I have used it on unfinished wood, stained wood and wood painted a light color so that it wouldn't yellow and it would be protected from spills and stains.  You most certainly could use it on a painted cabinet door.  I would do 2 to 3 coats, with a very, very light sanding with 320 between coats.  Do not sand the cabinet door before you put on the first coat.

**Q: does it get yellow?**
A: I use it all the time and it has never yellowed on any light or white colored furniture that I have used it on. It’s my go to!

**Q: Is the flat finish really flat?**
A: HelloIf you take sheen on a scale of 1-100,  the flat will have a sheen of 10, versus the satin, that has a sheen of 35.Have a great dayWoodworkers Hardware

**Q: Can this be used outside over chalk paint?**
A: I've used it lots of times over chalk paint and it looks gorgeous.  My favorite is to use a super fine sandpaper (1600 or more) after 3 coats before the final coat.  Makes it feel incredibly smooth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite top coat.
*by E***S on February 24, 2016*

This is by far my favorite poly to use over water based stains and dyes and even latex paint. Now I am a huge huge fan of General Finishes products. By far some of the best stains, dyes, and poly's on the market. In face the only think I dont like about General Finishes products is that I can not find them in stores. You have to plan ahead and order this stuff somewhere online. These days though. All of the best stuff has to be ordered. My being a fan of General Finishes is not why this is my favorite top coat. I would not allow my review of a product to be compromised in that manner. Be advised this satin polyurethane has just a slight bit more sheen than most. With that being said. This is my favorite top coat for numerous reasons. For one. Its forgiving. Water based poly's begin to dry really fast so with most of them if for some reason you brush the stuff on in one spot for to long. You will get this ugly clumping or leave brush marks in the finish. The general finishes stuff dries fast, but is much more forgiving in that manner. It is recommend that you brush the stuff on in a small area then move on, but if for some reason you brush a small area for to long it does not tend to clump up or leave brush marks. Another reason I love this stuff is because it sprays on great with my small compressor and LVLP gun. Many top coats need to be sprayed with a HVLP gun to atomize this stuff properly and get a nice even coat with no runs, but I have an LVLP because I only have a small compressor that only does 5cfm at 40psi. It atomized the stuff properly and I get a nice even coat every time with no runs. My all time favorite thing about this top coat is that I can put 3 or 4 coats of the stuff on in less that a day. This stuff dries hard enough to be lightly sanded in about 1-2 hours depending on the conditions. After about an hour I can go in and hit it with a 220 grit sanding pad to smooth it out and put on another coat. All of the water based or should I say waterborne poly's dry to the touch and can be lightly handled pretty fast, but they will still be to soft to sand. With this poly it is a much different story. Also ones this stuff is dried and cured. It is almost indestructible as far as a polyurethane goes. Even over softwood like pine.
