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. However, a significant number of customers experienced issues like uneven, blotchy, or inconsistent results, as well as difficulties with application. The color may not always match expectations. Overall, the product seems to require careful application and may not work well for all projects or wood types, so testing on a small area is recommended.

Shelf for stuff
Would RecommendPurchased this to color my new homemade pine shelf. Color is great had a couple of runs but that's on me. Sanded and reapply. For my first try staining I'm happy.

Cannot be brushed on and left
Would Not RecommendI applied the product with a brush on sanded wood, but you could see the brush strokes, which didn't soak in. I had to rub off the excess with a rag and repeat. It looks okay, but I don't see the advantage to using this, as opposed to staining and then applying a finish. I won't be buying this type of finish again.

Easy to use, but need to be aware of odor
Very easy to apply and the color is perfect for my project. Need to apply in a well ventilated place because the odor is strong. Had to leave it in my garage for 2 days with the door open during the day before storing my project in the basement . Will see how it holds up outside.
