General Finishes Dry-Time Extender, Pint

Increased the dry time enough to allow for a nice consistent applications. Watch the video and follow their directions

General Finishes Dry-Time Extender is a project saver and headache/stress reducer. It eliminates the pressure anxiety that comes from knowing paint or stain not only has to be applied super quickly, but also perfectly to keep it from streaking or looking like a mess. When I’ve added the extender I’m more relaxed, and I know I’m going to do a better job for that reason alone. It also makes blending and correcting easier, and I don’t want to be without this for any paint or stain project. I’m an enthusiastic fan of General Finishes, which I’ve arrived at by going back and forth from their products to others, trying the different products because they’re either less expensive or have been recommended, but I always come back to GF. All of my reviews are my own; no affiliation with the merchandise or seller in any capacity.

Added this to some water based minwax stain that dries really fast. First time I used the stain on a large area I couldn't wipe it off fast enough without leaving streakes. After adding some GF extender it was almost like wiping off oil based stain. I didn't have any streaks and the stain was even. Very nice product.

I bought this product after reading a lot of positive reviews and watching videos on line. I used it for two purposes: making glaze for the handrail application and thinning white paint for the spindles on the staircase. This extender worked perfectly in both applications. I was able to achieve really smooth and even coverage. It is better to add extender gradually as needed, it is important to keep paint not too runny while working on vertical surfaces. Enduro extender is water based, transparent liquid. It has slight odor, but not too strong when mixed with paint. I used less then half-bottle to finish my project, so I guess it is quite economical too. I never used paint extender before, so I can't compare it to any other brand. I only can share my own experience using it. Hope my feedback was helpfull.

It did the job but I have so much left over I don't know when I would use it again.
