It wasn’t what I expected

Very fast-finishing option for projects
Would RecommendThis is very convenient when separate stain and finish layers are not timely or desirable. The color was very accurate and was impressed with the quick drying time. The only learning curve was regarding how quickly the stain soaked into the wood - keep a wet edge moving quickly as it will leave dark lines/patches if you let the stain sit too long.

I found ALL of these qualities in this stain. I literally scuff sanded the origi...
Won't purchase this again
Would Not RecommendI'm not really impressed with this product. It dries quickly and isn't very forgiving for the "poly" part. It only allows for a little bit of over working with a brush. The stain easily darkens quickly when getting too close to a recently done section. End product is blotchy. It took three coats to get a nice smooth surface.
