Produces a long-lasting finish!

Excellent quality and it produces a hard, long-lasting finish.  My 11x17 laminator is an old model...had it for about 15 years, so I wasn't sure if 7mil would be too thick, but I had absolutely no problems!!!

Just finished spraying the bed with this stuff and came out great!  Such a professional finish, only wish there was a 5th bottle as it is a little thin in sections.  Recommend adding a 5th bottle to your order before you start.

Great Product that delivered great results.  I choose this product after looking at a youtube video on how to stain/treat a wooden hand rail for my home.  I found that this product took the place of the tradtional stain/poly messy process.  Just applied with some gloves after a light sanding and it sucked up the first coat easy.  I did a total of about 4 coats..heavier and heavier as the coats progressed. It gave me a sleek smooth finish with a deep tone to the wood.  Glass-ie smooth. Much easier than staining and coating with poly.  if you have a small wood working project buy this product.  Watch youtube videos and be amazed at what it can do.  really deepend the look of the wood.  Have fun with your wood!

Used this on my baked polymer clay pieces.  The can said it would take about 5-10 min to dry in 68' F temp but I used in the low 60's to high 50's in one long afternoon outside with similar drying times even while being pretty liberal with the spray.  Six days later, none of the clay pieces show any signs of tackiness and that includes the pieces with metallic wax and mica-polyurethane finishes.

One thing I did notice was that any areas of the clay pieces where I had applied Sculpey satin glaze were "knocked" back down to a matte finish with this varnish.  My pieces are a combination of polymer clay elements adhered together: a focal component centered on a handmade bezel. In this case the bezel had no finish on it but the focal component had been glazed.  After using the Crystal Kote, the focal component was no longer glossy but matte like the bezel.  I'm wondering what would happen if I went back and re-applied another layer of Sculpey glaze to my focal areas.  (Hmmm. If I try it, I'll do an update.)

That brings up the last point, this varnish is DEFINITELY matte.  It temporarily conveys a glossy shine to polymer clay but quickly dries to a subtle, almost invisible, matte finish.  I was worried that I had wasted my money until I ran my finger on the front and back of my pieces which both had metallic wax finishings and saw that the side with the Crystal Kote was perfectly sealed and left no residue at all while the unsprayed, back side, left clear smears of wax on my finger.  So, overall, quite happy with this product.

Now, I just need another warm afternoon to spray/seal the back and sides of my pieces...

Nice finish, very pleased with the results. I found an old table in my garage and had to sand it down to get all of the layers of paint. With all this work, there was still a stubborn layer of some kind of orange stain that the previous owner had treated the table with. This stain really brough life back into the table and removed all of the orange hue. I originally found the product on Pinterest and glad I did!

I'm a professional woodworker and have been using this brand of water based finish for many years with great success. The first piece of furniture that I sprayed this on some 12 years ago is still like new and doesn't appear to have yellowed . I've applied this finish with bristle and foam brushes but much prefer spraying, as it is easier and faster to lay down an even finish. Although this can be purchased for almost half the cost listed here from HD.

After working on cars for quite awhile I decided it was about time to start looking for a polishing kit to restore some old parts I had lying around so I gave this a try. I was very surprised at the variety and quality of the buffing mandrels that came with this, definitely worth the money! However I do have to agree with another review that said it didn't exactly provide a "showroom finish". I believe this is because you get a lot of cross contamination between the compounds when you use the same mandrels. To really get a professional finish, go ahead and order 2 other sets of mandrels so you have a set for each compound. I highly recommend this though because you really can't beat what you're getting for the price. Even without a showroom finish I guarantee it'll be a vast improvement from what you started with!

Simple to use.  Painting or coating significantly prolongs use.

I love this stuff for woodwork. It has a shorter work cycle than others I have used and you have to start pouring the second it turns clear or it will start losing flow and leveling capability. The final finish is one of the better I have seen. Big fan of this product, would like to see it about $10 less expensive per gallon. I would use it exclusively at that price.

I used this product on a large maple kitchen counter after refinishing and 2 smaller cutting boards. I love the finish this left on the wood. I like it much better then using just mineral oil. Will be buying more , when needed.

Very happy with the final result! Much easier that I expected - just be prepared for lots of sanding! Careful on the edges though. A thick base coat is definitely important!

If you first use Dupli-color's Adhesion Promoter, then use this paint on plastic parts, you will be amazed by the results. I've painted my running boards, plastic insert pieces, inner fender wells, windshield wiper cowl piece, etc and they look brand new. Nice satin finish, no chipping or peeling. Just put on several very light coats over the adhesion promoter and you'll love it.

Had not used Arm-R-Seal before, until I was ready to finish a dining-table project I had many hours invested in, and a customer (spouse) that said she wanted to be able to "use" the dining table without great concerns of leaving rings and blemishes. Using a soft cotton cloth I rubbed on 12-coats of Arm-R-Seal as a final finish and really like the results. Only time will tell how ultimately durable the finish is, but at this point I'm very pleased!

I've been neglecting some of my wood furniture, some of which is hand-me-downs and has been in the family for a long time.  I've been wanting something that isn't as rough as a chemical stripper, but will also not require sanding.  Both are messy and tedious.  I found this and through brand recognition, decided to give it a go.

The first thing I used it on was an old night stand I acquired 13 years or so ago, no idea how old it is, but the finish seemed to be an overdone amber shellac finish, or potentially (shudder) an all-in-one stain and finish.  It had no patina, it was just a putrid shade of orange-brown.  I tried the product on this, as directed.  As I rubbed the steel wool, the finish began to gum up and loosen and I could see raw pine slowly start to surface!  It was rather effortless, no need to really scrub.  Just keep applying, as it seems to evaporate or get soaked in by the old finish pretty quickly.  Once I had raw pine, I "cleaned" up the grain by taking a towel with some of this and rubbing with the grain, and once it was dry, the pine looked almost new.  I proceeded shortly thereafter with a fresh coat of Zinsser Bulls Eye Amber Shellac (excellent for pine) and had a nice patina.  After two coats of actual amber shellac, it is starting to look like a workable, presentable piece of furniture.  Old, old shellac finishes are usually easy to identify by the alligatoring, almost like it's been burned.  Ever live in an old townhouse or rowhome and see that black, alligatored trim and doors?  Yep, that's 100 year old shellac.

So, I took this can of Formby's up to the attic, where I have an old entertainment center that I've been neglecting.  We've had it maybe 20 years, I've had it maybe 15 of those years.  Other than the occasional (annual) rubdown of lemon oil that didn't last long, I rarely even looked at this, but the sun sure did, and it was starting to show.  It had what I think was a semi-gloss lacquer on oak plywood that was more worn off than intact.  I began with this, rubbing the steel wool and what was left of the finish came off almost instantly.  Although it isn't intended for paint, it did remove some drips.  With a little labor, I got a bare oak surface.  Through no fault of the product, the wood was so dry that it drank this as soon as I put it on.  I'm currently waiting on the first coat of golden oak stain, as this old oak plywood is going to need some TLC.

Give it a try.  Make sure you have some steel wool handy, as thicker finishes will undoubtedly clog it up.  The odor is.... well, strong.  But, it fades somewhat quickly and seems to leave behind some sort of a perfume scent.  This is much better than chemical strippers, laying on thick coats of it, and tearing up the grain and patina of the wood with a plastic scraper and trying to pick old finish out of intricate parts, and then having to sand.  It's also much better than trying to sand down a piece of furniture, where you will have an inconsistent grain and run the risk of sanding through veneer.  Another bonus:  if you have any old brushes that have dried finish on them, you can work this on with it, and it will clean the brush at the same time!

Just beware - this will likely take your finish down to bare wood.  I haven't tried it on anything that's been stained, so I can't testify to its ability to remove stain, but I really think that the only way to do that is by sanding.

I really love this stuff. I've used it alone on raw wood and also over the top of sanding sealer as a finish coat. It produces a glass-like sheen and its pretty forgiving.

I also got experimental with it and used it over the top of an epoxy finish as a final gloss coat. The results were nothing short of stunning. The bottle recommends not using it over other finishes but as long as there are no compatibility issues, I've had good luck with just that.

I purchased this after reading about it in the February 2015 issue of Fine Woodworking (page 40).  Out of fifteen finishes this one won Best Overall).  It applies quickly and easily by brush or rag (I use an Apollo HVLP), builds quickly with fewer coats than most, looks great thick or thin, and rubs out easily with steel wool.  Also, it is more scratch resistant than most.

I build himidors and the quality of the finish is critical ... this meets my expectations.
