It's good to note that all water-based top coats can draw out unblocked tannins from your substrate. The only way to avoid this is to prime with a shellac-based primer as part of your prep if you suspect your wood may bleed.
Choosing Your Topcoat
When it comes to choosing a topcoat for our paint, it's a matter of weighing the options based on your needs most projects around your home won’t need a topcoat.
For high-traffic areas like kitchens or coffee tables that will undergo frequent washing, adding a topcoat is advisable. In such cases, for whites and lighter colors, we recommend our Tough Coat, a water-based topcoat available in matte or gloss sheens. It’s good to note it can be applied over darker colors. However, be cautious to apply in thin even layers to avoid cloudiness which can happen with water-based topcoats over darker colors.
