Drips and runs
Would Not RecommendMaking a two sided hanging wooden sign with vinyl lettering. Did two thin coats with a nice Wooster brush, 24 hours apart, and when I went to pull the boards up off the cardboard they were sticking to the cardboard and had these gobs on the back. Even sanding through the paint on the gobs doesn’t remove them. If re-painting the boards with black paint doesn’t hide the gobs that remain after sanding I will have to throw them away and start my project all over.

Great product
Would RecommendPainting an antique bed for my granddaughter, and researched the best way to refinish. Transparent satin stain was recommended, and I chose this product line as I had used their stains in the past. The result was a smooth finish, with a bit of a sheen - perfect for the white head and footboards. This 4 year old is thrilled...

A good product
The trick is to apply more not less to create an even surface, because uneven application will create uneven gloss. This is easier if the surface is flat thus horizontal rather than vertical due to dripping. A smooth surface to begin with will make it so much easier in achieving a good result. The product itself has good adhesion with good protection. Stir don't shake too prevent air bubbles.

Worked better than I had hoped.
Would RecommendTurned out great. After two coats (light sanding between) you can barely even tell that it’s there but I know the finish is well protected.
