Does it water spot on horizontal surfaces, like another water based polyurethane finish I tried?

Defthane Interior is a latex base product. Low smell; water and soap cleanup. Defthane Exterior is an oil base product. Requires HE filter mask for personnel exposure in confined spaces. Requires a solvent such as ME for cleanup. I have used both a lot and have not experienced beading.

yes, it's like a putty but hardens like a rock, can be sanded painted. the outdoor locations I've applied this are showing no signs of water damage.

I used water based polyurethane and love it. I used the rustoleum brand in gloss (maybe it's called high gloss). I waited for the paint to completely dry for about a week, and then I applied 2 coats. It went on really easily and looks much better than it did without it. Also now the fridge is very easy to clean. There is not a single scratch or anything. I would highly recommend putting the polyurethane on. The water based poly doesn't smell, dries in about an hour and cleans up with water.

I used it on my grout and there is NO gloss or satin finish. It didn't change the color of the grout in any way and you can't tell it's there until you test it with water after it's dry. In fact, I was just at my new house (four days later) and I had to test it again with water because it didn't look as if anything was there. I loved this stuff. We applied two coats but the first coat did make the grout waterproof. I put the two coats on because I want it to last and last. I sealed every piece of grout in the house. :)

Yes. I used a clear waterproof sealant/stain. It looks great and wears well.

It did not on my granite top. I applied as directed and removed as directed. Left the surface smooth and well waterproofed. There was some temporary discoloration when I first wiped it off, but that soon dried and the counter looked as before. Worked very well.

No. It is stainless steel. If you dry it as soon as you are done cleaning it never will. I've worked in the stainless steel industry. Even stainless steels can get water marks. A little steel wool should take care of that if you ever do get them.

We use it on all canvas applicatuons on our houseboat. Some are vertical surfaces and some are horizontal & everything in between. We reapply each spring.

It is not shiny like the outside. as long as you empty water after use it will stay nice.

Our water is so terrible that we had to install a water softener system because the water continually ruined our plumbing. I would say that it will spot however, because the finish is a matte finish, I would say that you probably wouldn't notice it.I love this sink because it's deep, wide and is nearly maintenance free.

I have used it on every type of surface including my 1940's oak floors. If you don't over saturate the area (use it as you would any other water-based cleaner) it won't leave water marks. It also works on all soft surfaces and on my original plaster walls.

per the manufacturer, Mcnett, Thank you for contacting us. Typically when coating a fabric in polyurethane, manufacturer's will coat the underside or inside of the fabric. The polyurethane makes the fabric "waterproof." Manufacturer's will also typically apply a water repellent (like ReviveX Nubuck, Suede & Fabric Waterproofing Spray) on the opposite side of the fabric on the outside. This water repellent causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric. It is the fabric's first line of defense. In case water does begin to penetrate into the fabric, the polyurethane coating will prevent it from soaking through completely. It is the fabric's second line of defense. That said, you will not typically apply the water repellent to the polyurethane coated side. Instead, it is usually applied to the outer fabric to help water bead up and roll off the fabric. The funny thing about polyurethane is that manufacturer's use it to waterproof fabrics, but one of the quickest ways to break down a polyurethane coating is by saturating it in liquid. This is the reason the coating is typically applied to the underside or inside of the fabric and it is also the reason why manufacturer's recommend that you don't store polyurethane treated fabrics (i.e., backpacks, tents, etc.) wet or damp. The moisture may cause it to break down. That said, I would not recommend spraying anything directly onto the polyurethane coating. Again, water repellents like ReviveX Nubuck, Suede & Fabric Waterproofing Spray should be applied to the opposite side of the fabric on the outside. I would recommend covering any metal parts, simply because I'm not sure how they were treated or manufactured and because of that, I do not know how they will react to any type of liquids. Covering it with a piece of Scotch tape should suffice.

I haven't noticed it rubbing off on our hose, however our hose is darker colored. The finish has stayed very nice and we have had no problems.

i used it on tile and it left a smooth polished look on the surface. nothing sticky about it.

I used this to seal some painted wooden stairs with polyurethane. It works, but not as well as I would have like. I wanted a surface that was like light sand paper, but ended up with something a little more subtle. You can barely feel the grit in stocking feet, but it does give a little more traction than without.

hello regular water is used so there is no mess. Each side of the board is a different color that appears when wet

No ... no experience with that ... BUT ... I did have a water stain in the family room. I applied Instagone with a clean paint brush ... gone! Worked great.
