General Finishes RTM White Tint Base - Gallon

General Finishes RTM White Tint Base is a professional-grade, low-VOC, water-based wood stain designed for finishers who need consistent, repeatable color and flexible color-matching capabilities. As part of the General Finishes Ready To Match (RTM) Stain System, Raw Umber can be used on its own or intermixed with other RTM stain colors and the clear base to create custom wood stain colors.

Ready To Match Stain System

The RTM system consists of 12 ready-to-use low-VOC water-based stains, including Raw Umber, along with a clear base. The system also includes a chip box featuring 96 color formulas displayed on two-sided color chips, additional stock color chips, and a formula book available in both print and digital formats. These resources make it easier to reproduce established colors, match existing finishes, and create custom stain formulas in virtually any quantity.

Rich, Customizable Wood Color

Raw Umber provides a versatile foundation for creating rich, deep wood tones. Intermix Raw Umber with other RTM colors and the clear base to adjust color depth, warmth, intensity, and transparency. This flexibility allows professional finishers to develop custom colors for furniture, cabinetry, millwork, architectural woodwork, and other interior wood finishing applications.

Brush or Spray Application

General Finishes RTM White Tint Base can be applied by brush or spray, providing flexibility for both smaller projects and professional production environments. For spray application, use the recommended spray tip size and equipment settings specified for the RTM system to achieve an even, controlled finish.

Designed for Professional Finishers

The Ready To Match system is designed to simplify the color-matching process while helping finishers maintain consistency from one project to the next. The included color chips and formula resources provide a practical reference for developing and reproducing custom colors. At the same time, the intermixable stains allow adjustments to suit different wood species, existing finishes, and project requirements.

Match Existing Finishes

The RTM Chip Box can be used as a valuable color-matching reference when working to duplicate an existing finish. Compare the available chips with the target color and use the corresponding formula as a starting point. Formulas can then be scaled using the RTM formula book to produce the quantity needed for your project.

Application

Prepare the wood surface according to standard finishing practices and ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared before staining. Apply RTM White Tint Base by brush or spray using an appropriate application technique. Always test the color on a sample of the same or similar wood before beginning the final application, as wood species, grain, preparation, absorption, and existing coatings can affect the final appearance.

For custom colors, intermix Raw Umber with other RTM stain colors and/or clear base according to the desired formula. When reproducing a color, use the RTM color chips and formula resources as a guide, then verify the resulting color on a representative sample before production.
