About Us

Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn’t particularly care about paint. He just wanted to keep his ship intact. That’s why, when he noticed that an accidental splash of fish oil had stopped the relentless spread of corrosion on his rusty metal deck, he immediately recognized it for what it was: A valuable solution.

The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the rust-preventative paint. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we’ve perfected a solution - which has led to some of the cutting-edge, durable and innovative products.

Great Results

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I used this product to refinish a desk which I had stripped down to bare wood. The application was easy and the results were perfect. I was especially happy that there was absolutely no yellowing of the natural color of the wood which is so common with polyurethane products. The final look was as if the wood was damp with water. Since this product is thicker you need to heavy load your brush as it does not self level as much as thinner products.I am very happy with the results.

Only Poly worth buying

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

I purchased Rust-oleum Poly from Home Depot or Lowe's once and loved it. Now they don't carry it anymore so I am thrilled to find it on Amazon. It is a bit more expensive then the Minwax you find in box stores, but I can't say enough about this poly. My husband and I build our own furniture so we spend a lot of time applying finished. This goes on just like paint and self-levels unlike Minwax which is sticky to apply so you often end up with brush strokes showing and bubbles in the finish. Next, where the first coat (and then subsequent coats) of Minwax take about 4-6 hours to fully dry, this takes about an hour. Since I almost always do 3 coats, this cuts project time down significantly. Since this is so thick, you probably only need one coat, but I like to add a few since our furniture gets well-loved. Also, this is one of the few matte finishes out there. I love that it has enough shine (although that's not the right word) to bring out the wood, but it isn't glaring or reflective. Even Minwax's satin is really too shiny unless you want to have that glossy look, which I am not super fond of in reclaimed wood. This is really the only poly I will ever buy again.

Use a roller, not a brush to apply

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Purchased to use as a top coat for my painted kitchen cabinets. Initially I followed the directions and used a brush to paint onto the wood. It was clumpy, looked horrible and I had to sand it off. After consulting with a friend, I used a hi-density foam 4" roller and mixed the gloss with a tiny bit of water. This was the winning ticket! 2 coats went on smooth, no streaks, dried fast and looks awesome.
Save yourself the trouble when it comes to cabinets, roll it on! Forget the brush!

Best Heavy Coverage Poly on the market!

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Bought this product after trying 2-others for a large, challenging project. I have 4-huge, old barn doors with peeling paint that I wanted to keep fairly intact as they are soon going into my newly built house. I took the loose paint off and wanted the remaining paint to have a permanent coating to keep the shabby, chippy appearance while making the surface smooth and prevent additional paint shed-off. This Rust-oleum Triple Thick did the trick! It goes on super heavy and dries perfectly clear with a no-sheen matte finish. Friends have to run their hand over my barn doors to believe there is any finish on them. The thick consistency protects the rough wood and paint finish perfectly.

This finish makes me look like I know what I'm doing

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

My father used to joke, "almost like I knew what I'm doing," when something he was working on turned out well.

I've tried many finishes over the years for fine woodworking and this is by far the best. It applies easily, cleans easily, and I love it that it builds up well. I don't really know how many coats it would take for a traditional finish. I'm applying three coats to natural-wood (fir) cabinets, doors, and drawer fronts that I'm custom building (100% DIY) for my kitchen. I love this stuff and will always return to it for future projects. It's that good.

So yeah, it does make it look like I know what I'm doing!
