Amazing stuff!!! Beautiful TRUE clear Matte
5 Stars
Amazing stuff!!! Beautiful TRUE clear Matte
This was a rustic farmhouse table i had custom made. When i picked the table up it just felt unfinished. It had no sealer on it...i used oil based stain for the color and let it dry for almost 1.5-2wks. I sanded it down with 400 grade paper and put one layer on, allowed it to dry and put one final coat. this is the PERFECT texture for what i was going for. I also purchased epoxy thinking that would be the way to go. But my mom told me to test this out on the bench first. I ended up LOVING it!! The oil stains are too glossy for my liking. This makes it feel old and weathered without actually having to be either of those things. I did 3 layers total with this small can of Poly!! I still have 3/4 of the can left!!! This stuff is great, i want to find something else to use this on now lol.

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2018
Just right matte for my kitchen cabinets. I didnt want them to look shiny so after reading the reviews on I figured I’d take a chance. Did 3 coats since it’s a heavy duty area and so far no scratches or chips. And no shine!
