Quality

The application, adhesion, and final product is outstanding.

This was a very easy project and the gel stain was extremely easy to apply with some light sanding.

Only drawback is it doesn't dry quickly and requires some patience for additional coats.

Price

Worth paying the extra money for vs.

Competitiveness

The quality in general finishes is worth the extra $ compared to other brands!

This is no better than any of the others i have used but cost twice as much.
