FAQ
Which sheen for cabinets?
Satin is the most common cabinet choice. Dead Flat or Flat gives a matte look; Semi-Gloss or Gloss is shinier and easier to wipe down.
Will it amber?
No. General Finishes lists High Performance as non-ambering, and it dries clear.
Can I use it over Milk Paint?
Yes on darker Milk Paint colors, for extra durability or sheen. General Finishes says not to use a clear topcoat over white or light colors because it can yellow.
