Provides a nice semi flat protective finish. The container is very small though, so you might need to order two containers for larger projects.

This is by far the most beautiful top coat. It leaves a matte finish which is exactly what I wanted. It dries super fast and I only had to do a couple costs. Great coverage and levels out with no imperfections.

When they say “Flat Out Flat,” they mean it! You almost can’t tell there’s a topcoat when you’re done — which makes me wonder how much protection it will provide. But it looks great and goes in well, like the other GF finishes. A good option when you don’t want any sheen at all.

General Finishes has great finishes for furniture. I use both their paint and this topcoat. You only need a small amount on your brush when applying. If you overload your brush and leave a drop it will dry as a milky white drop. It goes a long ways because of this so you will be surprised how far a pint will go.

The product goes on smoothly with no streaks and keeps the natural wood as close to natural as possible. Just what we wanted.

I was doing so much research looking for a varnish that would keep as much of the natural color of the white oak and maintaining the knots and grains. I decided on general finishes flat out flat ultimately and was satisfied. Application was so easy compared to a standard polyurethane. There were no brush strokes as it laid out flat almost immediately. Being that it is water based, in between coats one and two there was enough grain pop requiring a very light sanding with 220 grit. The end result was a deep rich natural tone with bold hi-lighting of the grain and knots, there’s absolutely no sheen to it either so no light can reflect off the surface. It withstood putting the finished beam up without any scratching and marring of the surface. The picture of the beam is about a month after applying the finish.

This product produce a nice flat finish as promises but it did change the colour of the Wood which I was trying to avoid. Still a nice finish though.

I of to say, I am really happy with this product. It is my first time using it and I am very pleased with it so far. it is a bit pricey for the size, but i got more out of it, than what I paid for it. It really lives up to its name, flat out flat. I’ve always used the polyurethane waterbase matte finish, but sometimes when I would use more than one coat, it would end up with more of a satin look, than a Matte with white streaks. I used 3 coats of the Flat Out Flat on this piece, because i knew I would be using it a lot and it still have a flat look finish and no white streaks. It is easy to use and clean up is easy peezy. Like I mentioned before, I use this piece a lot for cocktail serving, so I’m always spilling stuff on it. I was very happy after using it for a party on a Friday night, wiping it down the next day, I was very happy that it held up. GREAT PRODUCT GREAT COMPANY!.
