What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the polyurethane for delivering a beautiful, natural finish that enhances wood grain without appearing plastic-like. The fast-drying formula allows multiple coats in one day with smooth, even application. Many users report decades of consistent use with excellent durability against scratches and moisture, making it ideal for floors and furniture. The product earns deep loyalty, with reviewers describing it as reliable and long-lasting. Some note the satin finish appears shinier than expected, and a few report inconsistent batch quality with cloudiness or yellowing, though these concerns represent a small minority of feedback.

Nice finish, tendency to sag or run.

Would Recommend

Nice coverage, and beautiful finish... If you can keep it from sagging or dripping. If you are going to apply it to a flat surface, it does an excellent job. If you are working on shelves or a unit, beware. It is a very thick product, which lends itself to sags and runs, even when you are trying to put on as thin a layer as possible. I still use it because it has low odor, is resistant to scratches and bumps, and it does have a nice finish if you can manage the sags.

Great product but be careful with sheen

The poly applied perfectly. I was a bit surprised by how shiny satin was. It dried too glossy.

Disappointed in product

Would Not Recommend

I am in the process of finishing cabinets, I have put 2 coats on them and am not happy at all. I am not getting the finish I am trying to achieve. Almost 2o years ago I used the same product or so I am being told from the store in which I purchased this product. I am using now the premium oil fast drying polyurethane warm semi gloss and before I used the fast-drying polyurethane superior durability clear semi- gloss. What I am trying to figure out has the product changed that much?
