Combining urethane and acrylic technology, it delivers exceptional durability, UV protection, and water resistance. Fast drying within 1-2 hours, it’s ideal for furniture, cabinets, and even floors, offering a professional-grade finish with easy water-based cleanup. ## Description High Performance Poly is a unique Hybrid of urethane and acrylic technology. The specialized urethane modification provides superior toughness, durability, and water resistance necessary for high wear surfaces such as tables and cabinets. It is stabilized with UV absorbers to maximize its performance and afford protection to the stains, paints, and wood underneath. High Performance is a fast drying, low odor, non-flammable alternative to conventional lacquers. It is suitable for interior woodwork, case goods, furniture, and cabinets. Review: Highest standards - This product is of excellent quality and produces a finish that is impressive for its beauty. I did not assess the durability as I just completed the project. It dries quickly and ready to sand and repaint within two hoirs. Water soluble, the brush is easy to clean. Review: Just the best - I found this stuff on a review from This Old House saying it is, in their opinion, the best. I still have a gallon of the second best and it's not that good. I really like the way this product is so easy to apply (I use a paint-roller instead of a brush as the brushes have seemed to leave waves that don't disappear as it dries). As this product dries and sets up, it smooths out nicely. I used the quart size as I was repairing a 2 square foot area of real oak flooring and wanted to find a good product. The second-best stuff didn't work for me so I sanded it off and applied the General Finishes product to great success. It's pricey but should last for many years. I think it's worth ever cent. ## Features - The hardest, most durable consumer polyurethane top coat on the market today - UV stabilizer protects it from breaking down in sunlight and protects the underlying Stains from fading - With its Pure polyurethane durability, it can even be used on floors - Dry Time Between Coats is only 1 to 2 Hours - Interior use only ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001DT1UPQ | | Brand | General Finishes | | Brand Name | General Finishes | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Country of Publication | USA | | Coverage | 65-75 sq.ft. | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 118 Reviews | | Finish Type | Semi-Gloss | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00606016105236 | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 1 Pints | | Manufacturer | General Finishes | | Manufacturer Part Number | PTHSG | | Material | Water-based | | Material Type | Water-based | | Model Number | PTHSG | | Product Finish Type | Semi-Gloss | | Recommended Uses For Product | Interior | | UPC | 606016105236 | | Unit Count | 16.0 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** General Finishes - **Finish Type:** Semi-Gloss - **Item Weight:** 1.1 Pounds - **Material:** Water-based - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Interior ## Images ![General Finishes High Performance Water Based Topcoat, 1 Pint, Semi-Gloss - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FK1HY3nUL.jpg) ![General Finishes High Performance Water Based Topcoat, 1 Pint, Semi-Gloss - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Hn9+zLQpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highest standards *by M***A on 28 January 2024* This product is of excellent quality and produces a finish that is impressive for its beauty. I did not assess the durability as I just completed the project. It dries quickly and ready to sand and repaint within two hoirs. Water soluble, the brush is easy to clean. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the best *by O***G on 12 April 2024* I found this stuff on a review from This Old House saying it is, in their opinion, the best. I still have a gallon of the second best and it's not that good. I really like the way this product is so easy to apply (I use a paint-roller instead of a brush as the brushes have seemed to leave waves that don't disappear as it dries).

I think it's worth ever cent. ### ⭐ Product arrived unusable due to apparent spoilage *by W***O on 19 April 2026* Product arrived unusable due to apparent spoilage When I opened the can, there was a thick, coagulated film on the surface. After stirring thoroughly, the product did not return to a smooth consistency—instead it remained very viscous, with a texture similar to cream of wheat and visible lumps throughout. The material was so thick that it resisted stirring and even caused the can to rotate while mixing. The lumps did not break down with extended stirring, indicating the finish had partially cured or degraded in the container. Based on its condition, the product was clearly not usable for application and had to be discarded. ## Frequently Bought Together - General Finishes High Performance Water Based Topcoat, 1 Pint, Semi-Gloss - qt Zinsser 854 Clear SealCoat Universal Sanding Sealer - Pro Grade, Paint Brushes, 5-Piece, Paint Brush Set: Flat & Angle Brushes for Latex and Oil Paints, Stains, Interior & Exterior Home Improvement --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/364897705-general-finishes-high-performance-water-based-topcoat-1-pint-semi](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/364897705-general-finishes-high-performance-water-based-topcoat-1-pint-semi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
