What Customers Are Saying

The Polycrylic Protective Finish provides a clear, durable coating that enhances the natural colors and leaves a smooth, glossy appearance on wood projects, furniture, and craft items. It is generally easy to use and dries quickly. However, some users reported issues with the spray application, such as inconsistent coverage, sputtering, and creating bubbles or blotches on the finish. Customers recommend using a brush or roller application method instead of the spray for best results.

This is SO MUCH MORE easier than rolling on the stuff in the can. This might not be as cost effective but the quality is worth it!

I decided to pick up this spray on top coat after realizing how much time it takes to "paint" on top coat. I have a lot to do in the project I'm currently working on and am trying to save time wherever I can. I only picked up one can at first to test the product and I was impressed! Just like the paint on top coat it will stick right to the wood grain, and it's pretty easy to see once you have it sprayed onto the wood. I do recommend keeping a brush nearby just incase you over-spray, but all in ...

Quality and convenience or excellent

This works great! Exactly what I expected it to be. It is so handy to use for small multidimensional projects. I used it on an outdoor wooden lawn decoration. That was about 3 foot tall and just went around and sprayed every angle, crease annd crevis etc. Let it dry put on two more coats and it looks magnificent and iswell protected.

Worst spray nozzle ever.

Would Not Recommend

Both cans sprayed globs of product out onto the project. Instead of a mist like every other spray poly I have used this sprayed out like a garden hose with a finger over it. Thought it was just the particular can I picked up but the second can did the same. Could not get to spray evenly.

Love this product!!

Would Recommend

Love this product. I work a lot with CNC machines creating custom woodcraft and a lot of the pieces I make include 3D carves which are problematic for many top coat products. Polycrylic however is fast drying, adheres easily, resists yellowing, rarely pools or runs, and dries clear in 30 minutes leaving a durable scratch resistant finish. It's my go-to top coat.

Good!

Would Recommend

A convenient spray-on finish that’s perfect for small to medium projects. Easy to apply with no brush marks, quick drying (2-3 hours between coats), and delivers solid protection for everyday items. Pros: Beginner-friendly, even coverage, widely available Cons: Pricier than liquid polyurethane per coverage area, requires multiple cans for larger projects, not as durable as professional-grade options for heavy-use pieces Best for: Small woodworking projects, detailed surfaces, quick touch-ups,...

Works ok but very temperature dependent

If it's warm, it works well, but be careful to clean it frequently or it will splatter. It is great for small parts

Easy peasy

Would Recommend

Easy to apply and excellent coverage. Make sure to give yourself enough space between can and object, otherwise you’ll get drip lines. A little goes a long way!
