General Finishes®, Flat Out Flat is a self-crosslinking water-based topcoat that mimics the lustrous look and feel of wax. The increased matting agents used to create "flat look" cause this wood finish to have less clarity, show fingerprints more and provide slightly less durability than High Performance Polyurethane,. It is recommended for medium to low-use surfaces other than kitchen cabinets and table tops.
