General Finishes
For several years we were still just another solvent finish company with a limited future, but in 1992 we made the decision that changed GF forever by irrevocably committing to water-based finishes, something few manufacturers were interested in at the time. With dogged persistence through some tough times and a product recall, we created a diverse product line of great water-based stains and finishes. In 2006, General Finishes received Fine Woodworking Magazine's Best Overall Choice recognition
