What Customers Are Saying
The product offers a mixed performance, with some users reporting excellent results in terms of ease of use, quick drying time, and a rich, glossy finish.

High gloss
It went on easily but the gloss is shinier than I expected.

Great results when applied correctly
Would RecommendThe stain looks great, but take the time to look at video tutorials if your an amateur like me. Give it at least four days to cure before adding a Polyurethane.
