Would Not RecommendI wanted to refinish some cabinet doors with a protective poly coat. The doors had previously used Minwax oil stain (same color). I started with the inside of the doors and was careful to prep the wood, use a good stain brush, and stir slowly. After I applied product it dried very unevenly, almost clumpy. I re-sanded and applied 2nd coat. Same poor result. I stopped using this product and am starting over with the two-step process. Polyshade just doesn’t match the marketing pitch.

Stain and poly coat in one!
Great product! Simplifying the process of finishing that wood project. Stain and poly coat in one. Beautiful finish. A small can covers more than I thought it would.
