Tough Coat
£23.95
Our non-yellowing water-based Tough Coat comes in two sheens, matte and gloss. Perfect for those high-traffic surfaces such as tabletops. Easy to apply using a sponge for a smooth application adding extra durability and increased sheen to your painted pieces.
Try our Applicator Sponge for an easy application and a super smooth finish!
Do not use over medium to darker colours as it will show streaks. This is water vapour trapped within the tough coat and is visible on dark colours in particular. Should streaking occur, you can simply apply the paint over the top and leave it as is.
Use the Natural colour All in One Stain & Finishing Oil as a substitute to avoid streaking and to provide an extra durable, strong topcoat over Fusion Mineral Paint over high-traffic areas like kitchen cabinets or tabletops and even flooring!
