Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works as intended I did a full strip and refinish. Once you get the thickness of each coat down it goes on fine. Used the varathane applicator. Ensure to mix extremely well, mine had a ton of solids settled at the bottom of the can. I didn't realize this on my first can and ended up with a lot of waste on the first go. Still turned out great. Did 4 rooms, appx 1000 sq ft and used 4 gallons. 3 coats in 3 rooms, 2 coats in a lesser used room. One thing I would change next time is better scuff sanding and dust removal after the first coat. This is a critical step and I did end up with some dust particles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great top coat I like that finish I use it to seal and protect all my chalk paint projects... I have repainted a bedroom set, a desk and a bathroom vanity all holding up excellent to every day use. I usually do 2 coats and I wait at least a day before I apply the second coat. Works well for me,,, I use sponges to apply.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Soft and Scratches Easily Feels like soft plastic, and scratches very easily. Gently rubbing a fingernail on it to test the surface hardness, and it scrapes right off without much effort. Other objects resting on the table left deep marks. Very disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from This is one of the worst wood finishing products I've ever used. The spray from the can is not properly atomized, and comes out in uncontrolled large droplets rather than a mist. The large drops land on the project and quickly dry into uneven dots. Subsequent sprays don't improve it and simply add to the poor finish. If you spray enough material to form a film, the film does not self-level and sets into an uneven, botchy finish. Don't waste your money and time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this product It is hard to find a quality water-based clear coat for furniture. This is it!! Lovely barely-there sheen and no brush strokes!! The only issue is I have to drive 200km to pick it up as my local Home Depot fails to keep it in stock.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great matte finish I've used this product for years, primarily on distressed or antiqued items to avoid adding any sheen to them. Fast drying, light coats.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Complex floor with many different materials The finish it provided was a rich colour and really brought out the grains. The flooring project was a very complex one of wood discs, stone and sand therefore the tough yet elasticity of the product was important. Make sure the area is well ventilated.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Zero Integrity - Do Not Buy Absolute garbage product, do not waste your money. 5 days after applying the final coat on my oak hardwood floor I did a hardness test using my fingernail. The coating scratched off right down to the bare wood with very little pressure. Then after moving furniture back into the room I found the coating full of deep scuffs and scratches, again right down to the bare wood. After 5 coats and plenty of drying time this product does not hold up. If you were thinking about using this on your next project, think twice.

How soon will I be able to place bedroom furniture back on my floors after final application? How many days will it take for zero odour/safely sleep in the room again?

Asked by: How many days
I recommend three days curing before replacing furniture. Set the furniture in place do not slide in place. It’s best to use felt pads also. Odour is mostly dissipated in one day. Excellent product. Too bad it’s doubled in price in three years.

I thought I followed proper directions for this product but after several days the clear coat is scratching off like a thin wax coating on the stained table top, how do I properly remove the finish coat now without damaging stain finish? 

Asked by: Jennyk123
Forgot to mention......NEVER apply products in direct sun. Pick a shady and cool area to apply finishes

Using Varathane Ultimate Wood Stain, one coat coverage oil based in Linen White on stairs. What finish should we use please, oil based or water based? We heard that water based isn’t strong enough on an oil based stain? Many thanks.

Asked by: Vivienne
You can use the oil based a few hours later or the water based 72 hours later

I'm going to use this for refinish hardwood floor, but wondering if I can directly apply this right after I use the sander to remove old painting. Thanks

Asked by: maggie
I'm assuming you mean without any additional staining. I used this after sanding as a final top coat and just kept the natural colour of the wood. I suggest getting a floor finish applicator to make the job easier.

Hi a couple questions. Is this suitable for bare pine tongue and groove walls and ceiling? Can this be sprayed? What is the appropriate respirator for spraying this?

Asked by: bert
Hi bert, Yes, our Premium Wood Finish for Interior is suitable for bare pine tongue and groove walls. It can be sprayed with a standard compressed air, HVLP Turbin or HVLP Conversion sprayer. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.

Can this be sprayed and is it safe to use over a painted surface

Asked by: the_count
Yes and yes. I spray it all the time with a gravity fed HVLP pneumatic spray paint anywhere from 40-60psi. Full strength, don’t thin it.  It’s also great over paint. 2-3 light coats. Sand with a 400-600 grit in between if you’ve got texture but not necessary if it lays down smooth. Does not yellow unless it’s left to pool in an area. Drys fast and wears great!

I repainted my kitchen cabinet doors with white Cabinet & Trim paint.  Is this product good as a last coat?

Asked by: Barb
As long as your paint was a water based coat you should be OK.  However, make sure you have the doors off and lying flat or it will run.  Several light coats are preferred to stop spray "puddling".

can I use this on a shelf I made out of spruce 2x4's? if so, how do I keep the wood looking as blonde as possible? thanks

Asked by: irv604
If you are using it indoor, it should work; just follow the instructions for the best finish.
