Hoover Paint carries a wide selection of specialized wood coatings for the professional and serious hobbiest. These finishes
each have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.
Nitrocellulose Finishes
The most common and perhaps oldest lacquer finish. Used on interior wood surfaces including cabinets, furniture,
crafts, etc. Available in clear and “colored” finishes. The clear finishes will produce a slight “yellowing” effect so
they are not recommended for use over white stains.
PreCatalized Finishes
A more durable version of the standard Nitrocellulose lacquer but does not require the addition of a catalyzing
agent.
CAB Finishes
Ideal for use over pastel stains and white finishes because it retains a very clear finish.
Catalyzed Finishes
Commonly referred to as Conversion Varnish, these finishes have excellent durability for cabinets and furniture.
They require the addition of a Catalyst prior to application.
Waterborne Finishes
These products provide the advantage of not requiring strong solvents for thinning or cleanup. Improvements
are continually being made in these types of finishes.
