miragestalker Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) I just saw that DN Top Coats will be gone indefinitely. I just finished setting up my woodshop, building my epoxy station, paint box, and buying wood. Ive got everything except the Top Coat. I have experience with Devcon but don't want to go that route. Does anyone have experience with... General Finishes EF High Performance Polyurethane Top Coat from Rockler? I have a store near me. Description is as follows. This is one of the hardest, most durable consumer polyurethane top coats on the market today. It is non-yellowing and offers easy water clean-up. 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. With its pure polyurethane durability, it's a great choice for hardwood floors. Any help would be great.

I decided to test it. I put a coat on a lure that has been coated with an Etex/D2T mix.I brushed it on and hung dry. After two days I suspended it in water for 3 days. When I took it out, it appeared the same as when it went in. SO, it probably will work, BUT, I believe the Waterborne Urethanes are finicky to what they're top coating. Mine won't adhere to metal when put in water. Pick up a Pt and give it a good testing. You can use scrap and throw aways to practice on. I found that brushing works better for me than dipping. A thinner build up and nearly as fast. It goes in smooth, not heavy like the epoxirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I prefer the viscosity and performance of Dick Nite but it's not the only moisture cured polyurethane. Various companies sell the stuff. Google "moisture cured polyurethane" and you'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
