Enduro Pre-Cat Lacquer Flat, 1 Gallon

The new water-based Pre-Cat Lacquer wood finish from General Finishes utilizes innovative polymer manufacturing technology. This novel formula produces a smaller and smoother polymer particle, resulting in a significant enhancement in film clarity. Additionally, the finish demonstrates superior chemical, water, and yellowing resistance compared to both waterborne and solvent-based competitors.

It is important to note that applying clear topcoats over bright white paint may lead to yellowing due to a reaction with the underlying substrate. Similarly, light-colored paints may also experience some yellowing upon topcoat application, although this will be less noticeable.

The water-based interior self-crosslinking acrylic finish, marketed as "Water White," dries to a clear and non-amber appearance. The recommended application method is spraying, using an HVLP system with a 1.1mm to 1.3mm tip size. The finish requires a touch-dry time of at least 10 minutes and a recoat time of 1 hour or more.

In summary, the new General Finishes water-based Pre-Cat Lacquer wood finish offers several advantages, including improved polymer particle size and distribution, enhanced film clarity, and superior resistance to various environmental factors. However, it is crucial to consider the potential for yellowing when applying the finish over certain substrates, particularly bright white paints. The water-based, self-crosslinking acrylic "Water White" formulation provides a clear, non-amber drying option, with recommended application parameters for optimal performance.
