Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This stuff is great! This varathane is fantastic! My only complaint is the packaging.

Used it in refinishing my maple floor. Applied on refinished oak floors. Used it as a protection on my countertops in my kitchen.

Fast drying, only a slight aroma and easy cleanup. Went on evenly and easily. Easy clean up. Easy to use and fast drying. Dries quickly and water cleanup.



Cons

This is due to the product off-gassing, and due to this the floor has an awful bumpy texture and looks ugly. Also takes multiple orders to receive the product because they pack it loosely and the lid falls off during shipment.

Price


I'm so glad we were able to get this on amazon at a decent price.

Shipping


Delivery personnel usually mishandle packages and throw them instead of placing them carefully.

Packaging/appearance


Shipping packaging was a little light, so can had some dents, but no leaks!


The can was dented at various places because there was very little protection in the box.


Box was covered in it from where it had leaked all over the place and there was only a very small amount in the pale.


If possible, i recommend purchasing from home depot because their packaging is more secure.

Competitiveness


Note that there is another version of varathane water-based finisher sold in home depot that is not this "no odor" version (tho...  Read More


I am relatively new to wood floors, so cannot compare this to other choices.
