Anyone use this stuff before? Is this just another wipe on poly? Doesn't smell like or look like poly. Stainging my nite stands with minwax golden oak and was thinking about using this stuff over that since I have a bottle of it. Tried some on a test piece and put 3 coats of wax on top of that. Doesn't look too bad. Thanks.

I use this stuff quite a bit on walnut (no stain), I've even used it on purple heart with good results. I love it because of the easy clean-up. I have brushed it on (both bristle and foam) but I prefer to use a small gravity feed sprayer to apply it. Its a little tricky getting the settings right, but it works great.

Thanks John. I have started finishing my nite stands with it and like it so far. The smell isn't as obnoxious as wipe on poly. The info says it has a slight amber tint and does seem to darken just a tad.
Its also water based so it will raise the grain on the first app, just lightly sand it flat again.

John, do you know how long this stuff takes to actually cure? It is of course dry to the touch pretty quick, but I am wanting to put on a couple coats of wax before assembling everything. Thanks for your info.
