    Answer This Question

    I do know many that have done this in the past, but if the other manufacturer has modified or changed the product it may not. We would suggest doing a small test area first.

      Answer This Question

      Maryann, Floor Application :A minimum of three coats is required. Allow floors to dry 24hours before subjecting to light foot traffic; 3-5 days before moderate (normal) traffic or moving furniture. To avoid marring floor, lift and place furniture. One week is required before maximum hardness is achieved. Do not cover floors with rugs before one week has elapsed.

          Can this product be used to coat a painted laminate countertop? Is this product food safe?
          ByMar 26, 2023
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Janis - Products are no longer tested for direct food contact. It would be suggested to to a small test area over the paint you have and do an adhesion test before proceeding on the entire project. ZAR water-based polyurethane is design for use on wood surfaces - we do not test compatibility over paints.

            Do I need sand between coats? If so what grain sandpaper?
            ByOct 9, 2022
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Bendy - Thank you for the great question. You do not need to sand in between coats if you are within the recoat time period (4-6 hours or so) but sanding in between coats will provide a much smoother feel and appearance. Lightly sand with a fine grit (220 or finer) or use a synthetic steel wool pad (do not use steel wool with water-based polyurethanes) and remove all sanding dust prior to applying your next coat of ZAR® Crystal Clear.

              Can this be used over latex paint?

              Answer This Question

              Krobi - Thank you for your question. While we do not mention using this product over existing paint, many users have done so. The surface should be clean, dry and low sheen. I suggest doing a small test area and perform an adhesion test before moving forward with the project. Thanks for considering ZAR® Polyurethane for your project!

                Can this be used over stain? (Such as minwax)
                ByDec 31, 2021
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Marty - Thank you for the question. Yes, this product can be used with wood stains. It can used over multiple brands of stain (we always suggest using ZAR® Stain). A word of caution when using Minwax, they have certain colors that they do not recommend using a water-based polyurethane over - check the label for details. You will find ZAR® Crystal Clear Polyurethane to be a hard and scratch resistant finish that also be used on wood floors.

                  Awesome Poly!
                  We love the stuff!! Ive always been unsure of water-based products, but this poly is amazing. It doesnt yellow the wood, but it makes the grain stand at attention! If you have the equipment, put a 515 tip in your graco Pro X17 or something like it and put it on in a hurry. It goes on easy and looks amazing. You can roll or brush it, but spraying it is so much more efficient and alot faster. The semi gloss works great in an area you want a smooth surface, but not have that refective shine. Oh and this stuff dries relativity quick.
