Excellent product
I used this product to refinish my kitchen cabinets. It was was easy to apply by wiping on with a rag for a nice even coat. Dries pretty quick and the finish seems to be durable. Highly recommended.
-
Excellent wipe-on finish.
I've been using this wipe-on finish exclusively for a couple of years. It is just great. No runs, no bubbles, no problem!
-
Hand wiped finish
I've used this on large furniture projects down to small boxes with excellent results. It might not be a good choice for heavy wear surfaces, unless you apply multiple coats. I have found that 3 normal coats does great.
-
great stuff
Just finished a custom built desk with product and it looks like it was sprayed not hand applied.
-
Holds up well.
The concentration is thick out of the can. I suggest cutting w/ mineral spirits to get a better application time vs film thickness (30%ms at first >>>10%ms for final coats).

Best finish ever
Perfect finish! Where has this finish been at? surely not in Hope Mills where I live. I bought a can online to finish some little tables I made of wormy Maple. It did an excellent job of bringing out the detail without the poly-look. I should have ordered 2 cans.
