Made it look brand new
Would RecommendWorks great, had to refinish my kitchen table because it had pealed away so I applied 3 coats and it looked brand new. Just make sure you use a natural brush , table was 55 years old

I like it
Would RecommendGoes on easily. It’s thin, so it drips a lot. It has a short dry time which allows the project to go more quickly. Two coats has been sufficient for my application. It’s not supposed to yellow like oil based polyurethanes. Clean up is easy.

Good but not great.
This finish was easy to use and dried quickly. I was not entirely happy with the smoothness of the finish though.

Great customer service
Would RecommendThere was a mixed-up about my order but wonderful Ophelia made it all just right. She was very helpful, professional and friendly and “ran” back and forth picking up the items that I needed. It is rare to receive the help as I did from Ophelia. Thank you for your help Ophelia!
