Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.good chemical properties that serve the purpose
As a chemical compound it seems to be OK and serves the purpose. There is a problem, however, with the one-gallon container. Unless all the amount is used at once, portioning it for several time-separated projects requires pouring the needed amount from the one-gallon wide-neck container several times - an operation which is fairly inconvenient. I transferred the liquid in a one-gallon bottle-like tube with screw-in cap.

We absolutely love Ms Cindy and Courtney during our kitchen remodel they both have made the process better. I often find myself frustrated finding help in Lowe’s except when it comes to these two.

Never received
Would RecommendI received one or if three. Because it came from another store in Michigan. I get the run around. If I didn't have a picture of the delivery I would have been treated as a liar.
