What Customers Are Saying
The product offers a convenient one-step stain and polyurethane application, with some customers reporting excellent results in terms of ease of use, quick drying time, and a rich, glossy finish. However, a substantial number of customers experienced issues such as uneven application, blotchy results, and difficulty achieving a smooth, consistent finish, even when following instructions. The color may also differ from the advertised shade, and the strong odor requires using the product in a well-ventilated area. Overall, the product may be suitable for some applications but may not be suitable for all wood finishing projects.

Been using this product for a few years now. Provides an easy way to touch up existing poly finishes. Colors are pretty accurate and application is easy. A little pricey but worth it in a pinch.
