904-046 Duratec Clear Hi-Gloss Topcoat – High-Performance Clear Polyester Coating
Duratec® 904-046 Clear Hi-Gloss Topcoat is a high-build, easy-sanding clear polyester coating engineered to produce a premium, high-gloss finish over cured polyester, polyurethane, lacquer, and color coats.

Formulated for superior clarity and gloss retention, 904-046 delivers exceptional surface hardness, excellent sandability, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates and sealers. This makes it ideal for musical instruments, automotive dashboards, decorative woodwork, marine interiors, composite tooling, and pattern finishing.
