Rust-Oleum 250241H Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane Exterior Wood Varnish/Finish (Water-Based | Satin Clear | 946 ML)

Using it for last 2 months..good finish, dries fast, semi gloss so needed few more coats than regular. Best for craft work. Would like to buy again at more competitive price.

Good

Not as good as expected for its very high cost. The color comes darker than that shown on the container. It may or may not protect the wood but it certainly spoiled the natural outer look of my teak doors and windows.

I did not get the product that is shown

Ok, this product became one of my favorite, but not for the original intended use. I wanted to clear coat some counter tops in my sailboat, and wanted some UV resistance because you know, it's a boat, in Florida. However, as a clear coat on a very light uniform plastic surface (doesn't absorb the product) it was impossible to get rid if very tiny, hard to see (but still there) brush strokes). Most of the time the brush strokes weren't visible, but depending on the light, they would appear and I didn't like that. HOWEVER: I then tried the product on wood, and there was not the slightest brush stroke. PERFECT. Also, I love that it is indeed crystal clear and doesn't alter the color of the wood. I ended up using it on my teak and holly sole inside the boat, despite the fact that it is not recommended for flooring, for several reasons: - it is VERY EASY to apply. - it dries INSANELY FAST, at least in Florida. I could re-coat every 5 minutes. - no sanding required - doesn't alter the color of the wood, but beautifully enhances the grain (like when the wood is wet). - seals the wood / waterproofs the wood - doesn't yellow the holly wood (originally white) like teak oil or varnish or other clear coat would. The result is fantastic, took me less than 1 hour for a 30 foot boat, and can be redone anytime easily and quickly if needed. So who cares if it doesn't last 10 years, it is cheap, fast, easy, looks great, and requires no maintenance, no sanding, no mess when re-applying in the future, while protecting my teak&holly sole well. I highly recommend this to any boater who doesn't want to spend a week on varnishing or coating the sole and wants an easy 100% guaranteed perfect result (no strokes, no bubbles, no issues, apply right off the can as you want with a foam brush you CANT GET IT WRONG. LOVE IT.

Easy stuff to use. No stickyness. I was able to cover the deck twice. I painted the deck because it had never been painted or treated so the wood was so ugly and porous. Old decks over at least 10 years have to be painted solid, not transparent because the deck was in a bad weathered condition because, it had never been sealed or treated. So with deck paint and urethane it looks a lot better. It does not yellow great value for the money and very easy to use. I used a roller. Great and would definitely order it again.

Perfect for what I needed. Came quickly and in good condition.

provides the protection needed and easy to apply
