Two coats for natural woods

It’s durable and easy to work with. If applying over natural wood it needs to coats for ideal color balance. Otherwise you’ll see streaks of application.

Acts just like waterbase

Bring back oil based

Protect any paint even on the floor

Very easy to use very easy to clean up and does a great job protecting your paint

Amazingly simple.

Easiest poly finish yet. Goes on easy, self levels well and water cleanup. I use a foam brush for this and it literally rinses clean. What's not to like!

Perfect Results

I applied the oil=modified polyurethane to an accent wall. The wall (8 feet X 12 feet) is made of wormy chestnut boards. The product was easy to apply and the results were exactly what I was looking for. Multiple coats and no brush marks or imperfections. I would highly recommend this for use on raw or stained wood.

Good for floors... good for laminate counters

I used the satin form of this product three years ago on my textured laminate kitchen counters that were dulling. I put three coats on the less used parts of the counter and four coats around the sink, I let the varnish cure for a month before using the counters. I used this product because I figured that if it was good for floors, it had to be good for kitchen counters. I cannot show picture because I sold my house and moved 200 km away, Don't forget to clean surfaces with degreaser before star...

Application is awesome and no smell

Application is awesome

NOT Clear coat... Has a tint

So much for it being CLEAR! I have used this in the past on a dark would desk top, and it was fine. Just added it to a White desk I just re-finished for my daughters birthday, and YELLOW! Works fine on dark surfaces, but would NOT recommend for anything light. It is NOT CLEAR... it has a yellow/brown-ish tint, and it does dry that way. Super disappointed.

Not friendly product

Great for small projects but not great for table tops. Was working on 36"x80" walnut desk table top and it was easy to apply but did not evenly add that expected oil polyurethane finish look. Some places where darker surrounded by a white fuzzy area across the tabletop after 3 coats. Thought it could be trapped moisture so I sanded it down and tried a again and it still had the same issue. Uses synthetic brush the first time and a foam brush the second with sanding of 220 sandpaper in between.mi...

It yellows just like oil based poly

I have used water based oil modified poly for several years. I spray it on my furniture projects using a r500 LVLP spray gun and a 2HP 30 gallon compressor. I like this product because it does yellow a little just like oil based poly.

A “total use” product.

I’ve been working with your Oil Polyurethane, and also the Water based Acrylic for several years. But always used separately.I bought a gallon of the Oil modified Water based product. I’m amazed! ‘Cause it’s Water it seems to penetrate the wood deeper. This allows for a better sanding process. After quick drying. And “bringing our the color” as well as the Oil product had done.. I grade it a “best of both worlds” product and see no reason now not to use it as a single “beginning, follow-up, and...

have put on 5 coats and wood finish is terrible in the light

1 star for low VOC, anything else terrible :-(

What a nightmare to work with this product!!! Impossible to create a perfect finish coat with this terrible product. I have tried foam applicators, and synthetic brushes, with the same bad results. BAD: it dries too fast, impossible to coat a larger area with one end to be drying already before you finish the other end??!!! BAD: it does not self-level, any small drip from the brush or small heavier coat of this polyurethane left from the brush along the edge will not level, and will leave w...
