What Customers Are Saying
The product appears to be a generally well-received clear protective finish, with most users praising its easy application, quick drying, and smooth, clear results. The water-based formula is noted for its low odor and easy cleanup. However, some users report issues with streaking, foaming, or an uneven finish, and indicate that multiple coats and sanding may be required. Overall, the product seems to provide good value as a reliable, user-friendly clear coat, though individual experiences may vary.

It must contain gold!
I love using this product although I don’t think a gallon of it is worth almost $72!

poor coverage
Would Not RecommendDoes not apply very well. Bought the can for a table project, very underwhelmed with the results compared to just polyurethane. Did another project a few weeks later, had to strip all the way down the results were so bad. I'm in the south and it's hot! I was thinking that may be part of it.
