Can be sprayed
Would RecommendDirections say they don’t recommend spraying but I found it to be very doable with great results. I would not recommend it for your first spraying endeavor however. The product has a consistency slightly thicker than water and as such very little hang on vertical surfaces. Light coats came out fine using Graco Quick Shot and fine finish tip. I believe it would work well with HVLP as well but didn’t try it. Dried a tad fast but it was 110 here the day I sprayed, need to be mindful of overspray ...

Follow the instructions on the can
Would RecommendI am unaccustomed to having to sand the first coat. The instructions on can said I would. It was correct. The first coat felt like 200-400 grit sandpaper regardless of how smooth the bare wood was. It is NOT crystal clear on Maple boards. Darkens them approximately 1/5 of wiping them with a wet wrag.

I bought this a bit ago, as it is a water-based polyclear coat that delivers a crystal-clear, durable finish that won’t yellow over time. It brushes on smoothly, self-levels beautifully, and dries incredibly fast with minimal odor. Cleanup is an absolute breeze with just soap and water. It was perfect for my shelf project.

Great product
Would RecommendThe product is really good, but the only thing I had trouble with was that I had to buy more because I didn't realize that they sell a 5 gallon container of this. My concrete floors were absorbing this stuff at first, which was told to me by a professional that this is common on floors. I thought I knew better.
