GF RTM Bordeaux - Gallon

General Finishes RTM Bordeaux - Gallon

General Finishes Ready To Match (RTM) Bordeaux is a professional-grade, low-VOC, water-based wood stain designed for finishers who need reliable color matching and repeatable results. As part of the General Finishes RTM Stain System, Bordeaux can be used as a ready-to-use stain or blended with other RTM colors and clear base to create custom wood tones.

Ready To Match Stain System

The RTM system makes it easier to achieve the color you need across a wide range of woodworking and finishing projects. The system includes 12 ready-to-use, low-VOC water-based stains along with a clear base. By intermixing the available colors and base, professional finishers can create rich, deep stain colors tailored to specific projects or existing finishes.

General Finishes RTM Bordeaux provides a versatile solution for furniture, cabinetry, millwork, and other interior wood-finishing applications where accurate and consistent color is important.

Custom Color Development

One of the key advantages of the RTM system is the ability to develop custom stain colors. Bordeaux can be combined with other RTM stains or diluted with the clear base to adjust the depth and tone of the finished color. This flexibility allows finishers to reproduce established colors, create new shades, or fine-tune a stain to complement a particular wood species.

Professional Application

RTM Bordeaux can be applied by either brush or spray, providing flexibility for both small projects and production finishing environments. Spray application is especially useful when consistent coverage and efficient application are required. Follow recommended spray-tip specifications for the best application results.

Low-VOC Water-Based Formula

The RTM stain system uses a low-VOC, water-based formulation that offers professional finishers a practical alternative to traditional solvent-based stains. The water-based formula is designed for efficient application while providing the rich color needed for quality wood-finishing projects.

RTM Color Matching System

The complete RTM system includes a chip box featuring 96 color formulas displayed on two-sided color chips, along with stock color chips for reference. A formula book is also available in both print and digital formats, helping finishers calculate the appropriate quantities when mixing stain for projects of different sizes.

The color chips and formulas make it easier to identify a desired color, reproduce a finish, and maintain consistency from one project to the next. The system can also be used to help match an existing finish by comparing samples and adjusting the stain formula as needed.

Ideal for Professional Finishers

General Finishes RTM Bordeaux - Gallon is an excellent choice for professional woodworkers, cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers, and finishers who require a flexible stain system with repeatable color-matching capabilities. Its gallon size is well suited for larger projects and production environments where a consistent supply of stain is needed.
