What Customers Are Saying

The product appears to be a generally well-received clear protective finish, with most customers finding it easy to apply, fast-drying, and providing a smooth, clear finish. Many praised its low odor, water-based formula, and easy cleanup. However, some customers reported issues with streaking, foaming, or an uneven finish, and a few felt the product was ineffective or did not meet their expectations. Overall, the consensus is that the product is a reliable, user-friendly clear coat that provides good protection when applied properly, but may require some technique to achieve the best results.

poor coverage

Would Not Recommend

Does 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.

Thin, poor coverage, very poor results.

Would Not Recommend

This 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 Recommend

Used 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.
