Water Base Stains and Finishes
 |
|
 |
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. |

Yellow Ochre, Red Sienna, Burnt Umber, Van Dyke Brown, Pitch

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.
