Would Not RecommendThis stuff is garbage, I'm sure the people giving this good reviews have never used good sanding sealer.this was a very disappointing minwax product. This is not up to their usual quality product standards .it's basically clear latex paint.

An Extra Step That is not Necessary
Would Not RecommendFirst Time Trying it and it did nothing I can't accomplish without it. I have been working with wood 50+ years, and this was just an extra step and waste of time with no noticeable difference whatsoever. I won't buy again.

Self checkouts
The product is just fine. My beef is I was forced to use the self checkout. I know how to use them, I designed them for a living. But you'd think a company that size making the money they do could afford to pay cashiers to check people out with their purchases. Not only am I spending money to make the purchase, I'm also doing the job of checking my own stuff out.
