Couche de finition plate General Flat Out

I was a little worried a flat topcoat would look chalky, but this one went on crystal clear and then settled into a really even, low-sheen surface that feels solidly protected. Dried to the touch fast enough that I didn’t have to babysit the project, and the durable finish has held up to daily use i

Brushed this over some oak shelves and the low-sheen finish came out exactly as flat as promised, no annoying glare under the shop lights. Dried to a tough, smooth coat that doesn't feel sticky or plasticky, and it's held up fine against a few coffee rings already.

Took a bit longer to dry than I expected, but the low-sheen finish it left on my shelf project is exactly the flat look I was going for. Seems like it'll hold up fine against everyday use.
