Water
Base Stains, Finishes, Milk Paints & Special Effects
|
 |
Milk Paints are the star 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,
Country Colors, 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,
Brick Red, Tuscan Red, Baby Blue, Federal Blue, Coastal Blue and
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 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. Use over Water Based Wood Stains,
Country Colors, Antique Wax and Milk Paints. Glaze
Effects can be inter-mixed or layered to create custom
colors. They may also be layered over one another to create
deeper, richer looks. |

Wood Stains
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. |

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.
