What Customers Are Saying
The product offers an all-in-one stain and polyurethane solution that customers found easy to use and producing a glossy finish. Many praised the color selection, even application, and fast drying time. However, some reported uneven coverage, blotchy results, and difficulty applying it smoothly. A few felt the product did not perform as well as applying stain and polyurethane separately. The reviews suggest the product can work well for some projects when used properly, but may not be suitable for all wood finishing needs.

Would RecommendThis is a great product but love the look of satin better than the gloss.

Easy tinted poly
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.

Molasses and honey….
I’ve never stained before but had some deck boards needing a refresh. Tried this and it was very sticky, very messy, and it went on like molasses and honey. The color was nice and I like the sheen. I’m very okay with the staining job I did. Only needed one coat. Used a good deck paintbrush. This is a great brand and good quality, just not what I expected for stain.
