What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the fast drying time and crystal-clear finish that preserves wood tone and often provides one-coat coverage. Many find it easy to apply and clean up with water. However, significant frustration centers on poor flow and persistent brush marks that don't smooth out, with some reporting the product gums up and requires sanding between coats. Several reviewers prefer the original formula, citing thickness issues with this version. Despite these application challenges, most customers appreciate the quick-drying performance and clear results.

I followed the directions, used a high quality brush, thin coats and still got brush strokes. I should have listened to my gut and got the original. Now I have to strip my piece down and start over. Waste of time and money.
Too Thick
This product was a pain to try and use. Using a brush per the instructions resulted in layers that were too thick, smeared, and resulted in inconsistent lines. Completely frustrated since this was purchased over regular polycyclic, which probably would have been a smarter choice given its less viscous nature.

TRASH
Terrible product. Doesn't "stir" at all. Clumpy. Brush or roller, dries before you can put a single coat on, so if you brush over it again, it leaves mini clumps that you can't remedy. I'm refinishing cabinets. I just gave up and scraped it all off. $40 wasted.
