Product difficult to apply

Would Not Recommend

Product dries too fast for even, uniform coat on grainy wood surfaces. Despite sanding red oak to a full 220 grit, followed by dust removal with a vacuum and then tack cloth, could not apply with a clean new brush so as to not get brush strokes, gels and bubbles.pores that did not level and seal. Unfortunately had to use per a customer wish, so ended up removing the entire coating back to bare wood, thinning the urethane with about 10% by volume OMS to get the bubbles and brush strokes to leve...

Indoor protection

Would Recommend

Excellent coverage and only required one coat to get the effect and protection I was looking for. Rated for only indoor projects, but could definitely protect your finished restoration work.

Durable

Would Recommend

Fast-drying polyurethane applies much like regular polyurethane. It goes on smoothly, with a good level of self-leveling. However, because it dries quickly, you need to work fast to avoid visible brush strokes or lap marks. For beginners or those who aren't used to working with fast-drying finishes, this could be a bit tricky, but with practice, you can achieve a flawless coat. For best results, it’s recommended to apply thin, even layers and to use a high-quality brush or applicator to minimize...

Worth the money!

Would Recommend

I’m extremely satisfied with this polyurethane. It went on smooth and leveled out beautifully without leaving brush marks. The finish dried evenly with a rich, warm tone that really brought out the grain in the wood. It’s durable, easy to apply, and gave me the exact look I was hoping for. I’ll definitely be using this product again on future project
