Great product great employee

Great product for my needs. I used “sample paint” on a dresser later coming to the understanding that sample paint doesn’t have primer typically. With help from the employee in paint he advised me on this product. Essentially encapsulated the paint I used providing the paint and wood with protection.

Great finish on our work.

Would Recommend

This made a great finish. It was a little hard to get the great even finish on the large piece we were finishing but we finally finished with a spray can of polycrylic and that make the end result awesome.

Prep your wood surface smooth with 120 sandpaper

Clean up is water and soup to save brushes. Gloss Finish came out very well with 2 coats.
