Poor product quality experience
Would Not RecommendI wanted to refinish some cabinet doors with a protective poly coat. The doors had previously used Minwax oil stain (same color). I started with the inside of the doors and was careful to prep the wood, use a good stain brush, and stir slowly. After I applied product it dried very unevenly, almost clumpy. I re-sanded and applied 2nd coat. Same poor result. I stopped using this product and am starting over with the two-step process. Polyshade just doesn’t match the marketing pitch.

Beautiful color, though.
Would RecommendAll the color had settled in a large lump at the bottom of the can. Not sure how long it was on the store shelf.
