Works exactly how a clear coat polyurethane should
Would RecommendI had a built in bookshelf made & finished it with this to try to match the shelf to my hardwood floors. It was easy to apply & for being polyurethane, the fumes were bearable. Of course have good air flow & ventilation in the room. I'm letting it cure for about 30 days before I put books on the shelf to be on the safe side. It looks beautiful.

Nice finish with a bristle brush.
Would RecommendWorks great when applied with a bristle brush.The brush strokes level out and disappear. I don't recommend using a foam brush; it creates bubbles that dry and must be sanded out. Nice finish after at least 2 coats, much more economical than the spray. It's a beautiful clear finish that looks durable after several coats.

Beautiful finish
Would RecommendBest deal for a quality interior oil based. Cheaper than exterior. Oil so it looks best. Interior so it goes on easy. Still have to clean it up like oil based unfortunately. Last job I used chip brushes and threw them away.

This was oil base. Dries glass hard. Don't use water base as it leaves drink glass rings and is easily scratched. Not a lasting finish.
