Review: General Finishes Dry-Time Extender is a project saver and headache/stress reducer. It eliminates the pressure anxiety that comes from knowing paint or stain not only has to be applied super quickly, but also perfectly to keep it from streaking or looking like a mess. When I’ve added the extender I’m more relaxed, and I know I’m going to do a better job for that reason alone. It also makes blending and correcting easier, and I don’t want to be without this for any paint or stain project. I’m an enthusiastic fan of General Finishes, which I’ve arrived at by going back and forth from their products to others, trying the different products because they’re either less expensive or have been recommended, but I always come back to GF. All of my reviews are my own; no affiliation with the merchandise or seller in any capacity.

*by C***. on 3 March 2020*

Added this to some water based minwax stain that dries really fast. First time I used the stain on a large area I couldn't wipe it off fast enough without leaving streakes. After adding some GF extender it was almost like wiping off oil based stain. I didn't have any streaks and the stain was even. Very nice product.
