Highlights
Quality
There are pros and cons to water/oil based products ranging from look, to durability, application, dry time, coloring over time etc.
It applies evenly, dries nicely and when paired with varathane polyurethane, makes the perfect finish for my projects!
For being water based this stain goes on thick and smooth and is very glossy.
Worked on guitar body prior to stain application
Packaging/appearance
Entire contents of can was soaked through box.
Competitiveness
After using another brand (to try it out - i like to give other brands a chance), i was highly disappointed.
