Would Not RecommendThis stuff was very thin and not as good as oil based products. Didn't work as well, or cover as well when dry. I'd have requested a refund, but I used so much of it giving it a chance I didn't think that would work. I like Minwax products, but NOT this one.

"Clearly" works
Would RecommendUsed this to clear coat some cabinets. Worked quickly and sanded well. Definitely watch out for large-grain wood to swell on the first coat and need resanding. Good dry times too.

Worked great on a painted mantel
Would RecommendI really love this stuff! I recently painted my mantel. I waited 48 hours after the last coat to return the decor. Two days ago, I took everything off the mantel and it all took little chips of paint with it. I figured this would be a good way to protect the paint, and I was right! I did learn two things - aside from there is no/low odor and easy application. The first was to not sand between coats. I did this the first time and it ruined my paint - I had to repaint and reapply. I assume the san...
