    A Topcoat Over Arm-R-Seal???

    When using General Finishes' "Arm-R-Seal", does anybody go back and apply a topcoat on top of that, or does the Arm-R-Seal act as the final topcoat?

    Thanks!

    I've been using it as the top coat. I don't have anything that can speak to durability yet though since it's only on some new stuff.

    It's all I use when I use it. It's pretty durable. Maybe not as durable as some flooring polys, but has done a good job on some table tops. These aren't dining tables seeing heavy use, but are still used and get the occasional drink set on them.

    Arm R Seal is a topcoat. It's a thinned wiping poly varnish.
