Total Boat Halcyon - bmich - 02-05-2021 I saw a few videos of a guy using this on YouTube, I do not remember who it was but I liked the idea of it. Here are my experiences with using the product. First, the initial coat seems to really drink in the finish. I purchased a quart of high gloss and a quart satin. The high gloss I was able to coat the table legs and apron with 2 coats and the table top with two coats. Top is 36x80. I was able to apply one coat to bottom of table top. That was all that 1 quart covered. Second, the finish seems really think, the viscosity is thicker than regular water poly. Third, it dries extremely fast. By the time I was done with the legs and apron the table was ready for another coat. They advertise that its dry within a hour. My experience is its even faster than that. Fourth, no where on the website does it say that for best results you should coat 2-3 times with gloss then 1-2 with satin. If you want a satin finish. So I wound up buying 1 quart of gloss after I got the satin and read the package. Cons, I really do not see any difference between this and plain old water based poly. I guess in marine environments this may be different, however in furniture applications I do not see any major differences. maybe someone else here has marine experience. |
