Review: Perfect product for artists and crafters - I love this product for finishing off my painted wood art projects. It seals my painted designs giving them a protective coating and I love the high gloss shine. There is no overpowering smell so I can use it indoors at my studio work table which is right next to my kitchen and living room and still get no complaints from the family. The product is fast and easy to use since it is water based and all I need do to clean up is run my brush under the faucet for a few minutes. A coat of this dries super fast allowing me to finish a project with several coats in a day. But for most projects I find that one coat is enough to give a piece a decorative shine. One word of caution to crafters however, if you use any of the oil based "paint pens" on a project you need to add those paint pen features AFTER you have poly-ed the piece. If you try to polycrylic over your paint pen designs it can break down and smear the paint pen colors.
Review: Excellent - Been using this for 3 years weekly. Finally a product that has no strong smell, goes on easy in a milky white color, dries strong & crystal clear within 40 minutes ready for another coat to build a glass like finish. We use a blow dryer to speed up dry times. It washes clean with water preserving brushes. We use this as an encapsulating finish over 5 coats of color water base paint coats applied the day prior for prosthetics. The only con is it can get clumpy in a container. It fully cures in 4 days to a clear sandable finish. I have even used this repainting over a steel powder coated exterior door after using a primer, base gray color water base paint then applying 7 coats with light sanding over a week. It is providing a protective high gloss finish over a steel paint project. Buy It.
