Outlet Lee Valley General Water-Based Turner’s Finish

Low in harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), this water-based formula yields a finish that is as lustrous and wear-resistant as solvent-based finishes, but without the unpleasant odor.

Specifically developed for use on wood turnings, it has a thin, flowing consistency that allows you to leave the work on the lathe, rotating it at low speed as you apply the finish – a real advantage for those who turn pens or other small, hard-to-handle pieces.

The extremely fast-drying emulsion lets you build up multiple coats quickly. Ready to use right out of the bottle, it can be applied by brushing, spraying or wiping. It contains urethane resin, which imparts a light amber hue, similar to oil-based finish. Cleans up easily with soap and water.

Available in half-pint (8 fl oz/237ml) bottles. Made in USA.
