Gel Satin Topcoat has been a long-time favorite finish of woodworkers, with a heavy-duty oil-and-urethane base that produces a beautiful, hand-rubbed look. Gel Satin Topcoat has a thick consistency, so there are no drips, or runs.

Directions
- Work in a well-ventilated area. Open windows and doors, or use other means, to maintain fresh air flow during application and drying.
- Stir thoroughly. Even though General Finishes Gel Topcoat is thick, be sure to stir it well to reincorporate solids that have settled to the bottom of the can.
- 3 coats of topcoat are recommended. Apply thin coats with a cotton cloth, natural bristle or foam brush, staining pad or pad applicator with smooth, even strokes. Avoid heavy pressure & back-brushing. The larger the surface the larger the applicator needed. Additional coats will not improve durability.
- Wipe off the excess evenly with the grain & with light pressure using a clean cloth or high-quality absorbent paper towel.
- Finish sand between coats with a 220-320-grit foam sanding sponge or '0000' steel wool. Do not sand final coat.
- Remove dust with a vacuum, tack cloth or clean water dampened rag before re-coating.
