Changed product
I have been using this for about 20 years. It's obvious the formula changed. I will not longer use it due to the finish drys uneven, looks terrible.

Minwax Helsman Spar Urethane
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In retirement I do a lot of woodworking crafts. In particular canes and walking sticks. And I finish all projects with the title product. Easy application and a durable attractive finish. Highly recommended!

used the indoor/outdoor spar urethane on log home
I bought the indoor outdoor satin spar urethane to coat my logs on the log home, particularly on the eastern exposure which takes a beating from the Texas sun. The other sides are under porches. I applied the Helmsman over a Cabot Cedar stain which I have used alone previously, in hopes of extending the color and life of the logs which are now 40 years old. They look very nice now, I will see how they look in a few years.
Great for window sills & tabletops
Love love love this product for places that get a lot of sun and/or moisture . Have used it countless times and it’s awesome!
