GF RTM Raw Sienna - Gallon

General Finishes RTM Raw Sienna - Gallon

General Finishes RTM Raw Sienna is a professional-grade, ready-to-use, low-VOC water-based wood stain formulated for the General Finishes Ready To Match (RTM) Stain System. Designed for professional finishers, cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers, and woodworking professionals, the RTM system makes custom color matching and stain development easier and more consistent.

The RTM system includes 12 ready-to-use LOW VOC water-based stains, along with a clear base that can be used to modify color intensity and create custom shades. By intermixing Raw Sienna with other RTM stains and the clear base, finishers can develop rich, deep wood stain colors tailored to specific projects and existing finishes.

Custom Color Matching Made Easier

General Finishes RTM Raw Sienna is part of a complete color-matching system that includes a chip box containing 96 color formulas. The two-sided color chips provide a convenient visual reference for selecting and reproducing established stain colors, while stock color chips help simplify the process of identifying a close match.

A corresponding formula book, available in print and digital formats, provides the information needed to calculate stain quantities for projects of different sizes. This allows professional finishers to accurately scale formulas whether mixing a small test batch or preparing a larger quantity for production work.

Versatile Application

RTM Raw Sienna can be applied by brush or spray, providing flexibility for furniture, cabinetry, millwork, and other woodworking applications. Spray application can help achieve efficient and consistent coverage in production environments, while brush application offers a practical option for smaller projects and touch-up work.

For spray applications, refer to the recommended spray tip sizes provided in the RTM category information to select equipment appropriate for the product and application method.

Rich, Customizable Wood Color

Raw Sienna provides a versatile color component for creating warm, natural-looking wood tones. Because it can be blended with other RTM stains and the clear base, finishers can adjust the resulting color to achieve the desired depth, warmth, and intensity rather than being limited to a single premixed shade.

Designed for Professional Finishers

The General Finishes Ready To Match Stain System is designed to simplify the process of matching colors and developing repeatable custom stain formulas. Whether matching an existing finish, reproducing a previously developed color, or creating a new custom shade, the system provides the color chips, formulas, and stain components needed for a streamlined workflow.

RTM Chip Box & Color Matching

For existing-finish matching, the RTM Chip Box provides a useful reference for comparing available color formulas against the finish being matched. Testing the selected formula on the actual wood species and under the intended finishing conditions is recommended, as wood species, preparation, absorption, and topcoat can influence the final appearance.

Ideal Applications

General Finishes RTM Raw Sienna is well suited for custom cabinetry, furniture, millwork, woodworking projects, production finishing, restoration work, and color-matching applications. Its compatibility with the RTM color system makes it particularly useful when a standard stain color does not provide the exact appearance required.

Achieve Consistent Custom Results

When developing a custom stain, prepare the wood using the same sanding and preparation process planned for the finished project. Test the stain on a representative piece of the same wood species, then evaluate the color after it has dried and with the intended topcoat. This helps account for differences in wood absorption and the way the final finish affects color and depth.

General Finishes RTM Raw Sienna - Gallon provides a flexible foundation for professional stain matching and custom color development. Combine it with the other RTM stain colors and clear base to create rich, deep wood tones while using the RTM chip box and formula system to help simplify color selection and repeatability.
