Pros & Cons
Pros
The spray works fine, but then i tried a quart of oil-base helmsman, and wow, what a difference. Much better than using a brush.
Can't attest to long term durability yet, but looks great and was easy to go on, clean up. The price is 10$ lower than lowes.
For fresh cut wood, plan on 2-3 coats as it soaks it up. Exterior use requires 4 coats so be prepared for a lot of sanding if using on exterior surfaces.
Cons
Can was labeled satin but was gloss. It is not clear, it is yellow snot color! Not clear - it add a yellow tint!
Thin and runny, about the consistency of milk. Smell is that of a horrific burnt chemical. The smell still lingers even mow after 3 months.
Highlights
Quality
Works incredibly well with a beautiful long lasting shine it brings out the patina and grains of the woods and straw.
Very good result for the finish of outdoor project, it drys very fast in well ventilated place, finished 4 to 6 coats within a ... Read More
Maybe it’s just the oil based that does it i’m not sure but this product does not discolor or leave behind an orange tint.
Will not protect stains without uv inhibitors!
Price
Works wonderfully- but found it much cheaper at my local hardware store.
Packaging/appearance
But the supplier did a poor job of packing and the cans were dented and leaking.
Competitiveness
Competitive price- can’t beat the quality of spar urethane.
I prefer this water-based version of helmsman because it is easier to apply than oil-based version of helmsman.
I prefer this over any other brand due to the end result: a clean shiny glazed over with water looking piece of work.

If it goes on an outside craft it gets coated 3 to 4 times

I would suggest outside projects to be redone yearly or every other year as sun and moisture is never wood friendly
