General Finishes Water Based Sanding Sealer - 1 Gallon - Clear - General Finishes Enduro Water-Based Sanding Sealer is a clear undercoat with strong adhesion properties that forms an easily sandable foundation for your project. The high solids content builds a fast film. Use under any of General Finishes' retail or professional topcoats except Endurovar. This water-based sanding sealer dries tack-free in 20 minutes in ideal conditions.Please click the below headers to reveal the instructional info for this product.Step 1: Preparation for Sanding SealerAll wood projects require preparation sanding, and all existing finishes require prep cleaning and sanding. If you skip this critical step, your finish may fail.Preparation for Raw Wood or Raw Wood Projects That Are to be StainedSanding Schedule: 120-grit followed by 150- or 220-grit sandpaper.Remove dust with a vacuum, compressed air, an oil-free tack cloth or a water-dampened rag.Let dry completely before applying GF product.Do not over-sand with fine-grit sandpapers; this will close and seal the wood grain, preventing ideal color absorption.Do NOT use steel wool with water-based finishes; the particles will get trapped in the finish and rust.Preparation for Projects with an Existing Finish (Sealed Surface)For high-use areas with heavy grime build-up and oil from hands, give your project a deeper cleaning.Scuff clean with a Scotch Brite™ pad and a 50:50 mix of denatured alcohol and water. Dry 1-2 hours. Avoid cleaning with products containing phosphates (salt), which can linger in the substrate and produce a white haze. If your project requires a deeper cleaning, see Power Prep Cleaning Highly Used Existing Finishes below.Sand lightly with a fine-grade (220-320) foam sanding pad.Remove dust with a vacuum, compressed air, an oil-free tack cloth or a water-dampened rag.Let dry completely before applying General Finishes product.Power Prep Cleaning Highly Used Existing FinishesFor high-use areas such as kitchen cabinets or table tops with heavy grime build-up and oil from hands, give your project a "Power" clean.Scrub clean with a detergent, such as Spic and Span or Dawn, using a Scotch Brite™ pad.Rinse well with water.Scrub clean with a Scotch Brite™ pad and a 50:50 mix of denatured alcohol and water.

Step 2: How to Apply General Finishes Sanding SealerGeneral Finishes Enduro Sanding Sealer is a clear undercoat that forms an easily sandable foundation over raw wood or an unsealed stained surface.Sanding Sealer is not recommended as a final finish because it is not as durable as a topcoat. Seal Sanding Sealer with any General Finishes water-based topcoat, EXCEPT General Finishes Enduro-Var, for improved water and chemical resistance.Enduro Sanding Sealer Application StepsStir to reincorporate solids that have settled to the bottom of the can before and throughout the application process.Thin as desired with distilled water; start with 5%, increase up to 10% by volume. Increase open time, if needed, with up to 5% General Finishes Extender if allowed by local regulations. GF Extender will improve flow and leveling and increase open time, which is helpful in dry climates. California Residents: Adding more than 2% of GF Extender will make the products non-compliant per SCAQMD Regulations. GF assumes no liability for the improper use of these products.Apply 1-2 coats. We recommend no more than 2 coats, then finish with 1-2 coats of topcoat.Hand Application: Apply a liberal amount of product using a synthetic bristle brush, foam brush, pad applicator, or roller.Spray Application: Before spraying, strain topcoat through a fine-mesh filter. Spray wet films at 3-5-mil thickness. HVLP: 1.3mm-1.5mm spray tip, medium air cap. Verify tip sizes with your equipment supplier. See our general guide for spray tip sizes. Keep your gun at a 90° angle, 6-8" from the surface. On large, flat areas, use wet, even patterns 6-8" wide. For narrow surfaces, reduce the fan pattern to 2-3" wide to reduce overspray. Overlap each pass 25% to conceal lines. Wear a full filter respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) and work in a ventilated space.Face frames on cabinets: Enduro professional products are engineered to be spray-only but can be applied
