Excellent
I've used this before. I turn pens. It puts a high-gloss finish to my projects.

I'm a habitual user of this stuff
Easy to apply-very nice finish
-
Awesome finish
It's not hard to get a nice finish with this product. So easy to use.
-
This finish has worked very well.
This new finish has some good qualities and helps to finish the wood-turned pens more quickly and still looks quite good; I will be comparing this finish to the Minwax Wipe-On Poly just to see if I can tell the difference.

HUTs Crystal Coat
Works effectively and creates a great finish. I am still questioning its long term performance based on the application and mixture, however, it makes your projects look really nice. I put a coat on and heat it up pretty good then apply another top coat which consists of 3-4 drops HUTs to 2 drops CA Medium and apply that twice. Buff it out and you have a very good "protective" finish for a lef time.

Exactly what I expected
I use this for small to medium woodturning projects which I want to protect and have a high gloss finish. I have had nothing but positive results.

This is nothing new.....
This is an excellent product but it's nothing new and innovative. 25 years ago I was getting the exact same results with varnish, shellac, and tung oil on my turnings. The only advantage I find is that this stores a little better than the 3 products I mentioned. All in all, it's a good product but just a bit pricey when you consider the cost of regular varnish and/or shellac.

So Easy to Use
HUT is a fast acting friction polish. Get it hot with a cloth and the shine comes right up. Like a small coat of glass on your item.

I like it very much
I turn hand made items from wood. This product puts a gleamng finish fast and easy.

I buy this product again and again
I make wooden bowls and this is the best finishing product to give you the high gloss finish. I have used several bottles of this last year and I am ordering again today. I use this after a sealor and it loooks magnificent.

Easy Peezy!
Very good for finishing small projects such as pens and pencils. The one thing it is not good at is building a finish to five that deep glassy finish.

Good stuff

Just like all the others

Glass like finish
This is a great product. I get a simple, 5 min. glass like finish. I honestly have no idea if the "Sand to 800 and apply finish" works. But, if you sand 150-1200, then use tripoli buffing compound Then white diamond compound, clean well, then apply this finish, you get wood that looks like glass. Again, i don't know if it is suposed to make lil puffs of smoke when you are applying it, but it does when i do it. lol. I may be applying too much preasure, but its worth the hot thumb for the finish it turns out.
