Would Not RecommendI’m planning to do some end tables and cabinets with this product. Based on my experience with water based stain I’m unsure. You better start with something you don’t care about as much.

Easy to put on and clean up

Must lightly sand between coats but it’s worth it!
Would RecommendUsed on a metal front door - brushed on well. Sanded between coats and 3rd coat looks great.
