What Customers Are Saying

The product provides a durable, glossy finish that enhances the natural beauty of wood. It is easy to apply, dries quickly, and has a low odor. However, some users have experienced issues such as bubbling, uneven application, and a yellowish hue, particularly when using it on floors. Proper preparation and application techniques are crucial to achieving the best results. Overall, it appears to be a good choice for many projects, but users should carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and test the product on a small area first.

Not what I expected

Would Not Recommend

When I bought this expensive gallon of oil based Poly ($68+) I bought it to use it outside. When I got the email wanting a review it said "interior Stain". I had my son in law check the can for any markings that say Interior. In very fine print on the back label it does say 'Interior' along with 'Water Clean Up'. Now I feel I must return it to find one that is rated for outside.

Beautiful finish on my walnut desktop.

Would Recommend

I made a desk top from 3/4 walnut plywood. This product made a beautiful smooth surface. I pour it on from a cup and spread it with a 7 inch pad painter. This product dries fast, so spread it on quickly, like in two minutes. Then it can flow out smoothly and leave a nice surface. If you work it for 5 or 10 minutes it will get sticky and leave rough spots. A light sanding with 320 sand paper worked great between first and second coat. I am happy with the beautiful, smooth finished surface of my d...

Easy to Use, Great Results

Would Recommend

This polyurethane was very easy to apply and gave a smooth, durable finish. It dries fairly quickly and levels out nicely, making it a good option whether you’re a beginner or have more experience with woodworking and furniture projects. I used it on a furniture refinishing project and was happy with the final result. Would definitely use it again.

It's different

Would Not Recommend

I wanted to try a non oil product but it's just not the same. I had to switch the way to apply a few times and had to buy a special brush. It also has a film, white appearance, in the details of the door. I used over a Kona dark stain. It took me a lot of time to remove and clean up not to see the white.

Goes on smooth & leaves a nice finish

Would Recommend

Ive been using this in a rehab Im doing. Solid pine 6 panel doors & custom hemlock trim. Goes on very smooth with a quality brush or foam roller. If sprayed on it will leave an even smoother finish. Equipment cleans up easily with soap and hot water.
