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.

Good Stuff; Use Sparingly
Would RecommendProduces a nice, shiny thick coat. Tricky to avoid drip marks and brush swirls, coats should be very thin. Sand lightly between coats. Three coats are needed for espresso color. A pint goes a long way.

Good for first time drainers
Would RecommendEasy to mix, coats went on easy will both roller and brush, and dried within a few hours with little smell (as long as the room has good airflow)

Learning Curve but Good Option
Would RecommendThis product has a learning curve. It must be stirred THOROUGHLY and the first coat must be VERY thin. I would say it is harder to use than a traditional two-step, stain/poly. However, it works very well on older wood or uneven colors (like poplar)
Great product

Terrible product
Would Not RecommendDries too fast when applied thinly as instructed. Finish is fine until second coat, then everything gets ruined by brush strokes and dabs drying on the surface prior to actually finishing. Color is uneven and inconsistent. Definitely better to get a dedicated stain and a separate polyurethane topcoat…this is junk. Had to completely sand down a decent sized project twice due to this stuff ruining the finish, even after a 2nd, more delicate application.
