Water Base Stains and Finishes
|
 |
Milk Paints are the darling of the furniture fashion
market. They are interior/exterior acrylic paints suitable for
indoor or outdoor furniture, crafts, and cabinets and can be
applied directly from the can to produce a high quality satin
sheen finish. When used with Glaze Effects, you can create all
the new decorative finishes such as distressing, antiquing,
marble effects, rag rolling, or color washing. High use flat
surfaces such as dining tables and desks will develop the patina
of every day life over time so we recommend clear or wood stain
finishes to our customers who are patina-adverse. Milk Paints
can be used alone or mixed with any other product in the
General Finishes Water Based line, including Wood Stains
and Topcoats. |

Milk Paints are available in the following colors:
Snow White, Antique White, Linen, Millstone, Outback Brown,
Little Pink, Buttermilk Yellow, Somerset Gold, Sage Green,
Bayberry Green, Basil, Cypress Green, Red Pepper, Autumn Haze,

Lamp Black. The digitized colors
shown are for reference purposes only. Always test stain on a
hidden area of the wood to verify desired color.

Glaze Effects
are translucent water based colors used to create beautiful
decorative finishes such as distressing, marble, shabby chic,
burnishing, color washing, rag rolling and wood graining.

Effects can be inter-mixed or layered to create custom
colors. They may also be layered over one another to create
deeper, richer looks. |

Our
Water Based Stains
have all the advantages of oil base stains: they
spread easily, can be repaired, can be blended
effortlessly, and have plenty of open time. The
thicker formula allows controlled penetration, which
will reduce blotching on hard-to-stain woods such as
Aspen, Pine and Maple. This stain formula will make
wood staining an enjoyable experience for you. |
|
Water based Wood Stains
are available in the following colors: Whitewash,
Natural (clear finish - not shown), Country
Pine, Golden Oak, Antique Oak, Pecan, Shaker Maple,
Early American, Antique Cherry, Black Cherry,
Walnut, Rosewood, Brown Mahogany, Espresso and
Black. The digitized colors shown are for reference
purposes only. Always test stain on a hidden area of
the wood to verify desired color. |

This crystal
clear finish is rated by
Fine Woodworking magazine as "Best Brush-on"
in a competition of national brands. It is our standard
"work horse" top coat and can be used in furniture and
woodwork. Formulated to be durable and consumer friendly, it
flows and levels easily and has great adhesion
characteristics. It has strong sag resistance for vertical
surfaces and its higher polyurethane content provides
greater durability than other polyurethane/acrylic blends.
Once you use PolyAcrylic Blend you will say to
yourself, "Fine Woodworking was right on!" Available
in the following sheens, Satin, Semi-Gloss, and Gloss. |
 |
High
Performance Top Coat is the hardest, most durable
consumer polyurethane top coat on the market today. It
contains all the consumer friendly characteristics of
PolyAcrylic Blend. In addition it contains a UV
Stabilizer to protect it from breaking down in sunlight and
to protect the underlying stains from fading. And with its
pure polyurethane durability, it can even be used on floors.
This is the most durable product. Available in the
following sheens, Satin and Gloss. |
 |
Sanding
Sealer is a water base acrylic basecoat. It provides
initial sealing for all GF water base topcoats. It can be
used over raw wood or a stained surface. Sanding Sealer
has been sterated so it will sand easier. Sanding Sealer
is not as durable as the topcoats so it is not recommended
for a final finish.
Drying Time:
1-2 hours under normal conditions.
(70°F -70% humidity)

The deep rich colors of Milk Paint authentically reflect
those colors found on existing antique furniture and buildings. The
paint is made in small batches, using earth pigments. Modern paints
cannot compare with the colors and the texture of the finish for
achieving the "old" or "country look" of Colonial or Shaker furniture
and interiors. And, like the paints used hundreds of years ago, the
colors in Milk Paint will not fade.
