Answer This Question

Happy to help, Jill! Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Ultimate Spar Urethane Spray will not yellow overtime. However, keep in mind you will want to apply light even coats as overapplication may cause a yellow tone appearance. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 10

    Answer This Question

    We're happy to help, Andres. While Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Spar Urethane will provide a durable, crystal clear finish for outdoor surfaces, it cannot be applied to concrete and must be applied to wooden surfaces. Instead, we recommend applying Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel Clear Spray as a crysteal clear top coat for outdoor concrete. Please note, this clear cannot be applied to floors or surfaces that will be heavily exposed to water, as this will cause the clear to crack and peel. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Oleum-Stops-Rust-12-oz-Protective-Enamel-Satin-Clear-Spray-Paint-6-Pack-285092/205727689 -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

            Does it need sanding between spray coats!
            ByAug 14, 2023
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            You've come to the right place, Julie! To ensure a smooth finish, sand lightly between coats using 220 grit sandpaper. For maximum durability, a minimum of 4 coats are recommended. Make sure to allow each coat to dry for one hour before recoating. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 13

              Can this product be used in a concrete swimming pool (drained) to fix a potential leak?

              Answer This Question

              Great question, Mike! While Rust-Oleum Varathane Spar Urethane is ideal for an outdoor protective coating, we do not recommend using to seal any leaks as it is not meant for water immersion. Exposure to full water immersion can cause the urethane to crack and peel. -Rust-Oleum Product Support 14

                Our Varathane Water-Based Spar Urethane may be painted, though we do recommend priming the surface first. Our Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer is a great option for this application: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-13-oz-White-Oil-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-Spray-6-Pack-2008/203146477 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2

                  Good Urethane, Horrible In Aerosol Version
                  Very good product from a can, unusable from the spray can. Pro painter for 30 years and would normally use my sprayers or just a brush but I only wanted a small amount for two shelves. Would not spray properly but only foam and drop clumps of foam on my project. Worst aerosol of any product I have ever used. Fortunately I had a brush nearby to lay it off. I just let the foam and spray drip out of the rattle can and finished by brush. No idea if this is just a defective can or waterborne urethane doesn’t like aerosol distribution. Definitely returning what is left.

                    Amazing product
                    This was the first time I used spray spar urethane, so I was skeptical about its application and finish. First, it is straightforward to apply. Second, I found that for best results, apply 4 coats, lightly sanding the 3rd. This really created awesome finish. Overallam really pleased with the coverage and end result. While using any finish rather it be water-based, oil-based, spray, or brush, the key is patience.

                      So far so good. Applied to a fiberglass door that is beaten up by the sun in the mornings. I used 2 cans and applied several (probably 10) light coats. So much better than when I used a paintbrush last time. The door looks great (lightly sanded cloudy finish with 320 first). But I don't know how this will hold up in the sun. Too bad I can't be reminded by Home Depot to update in a year.

                      Blotchy finish.
                      I bought this spray polyurethane to seal the chalk finish on our sofa table. After rigorous shaking, I found to spray very clumpy almost spitting instead of a nice fine spray. The finish on the table wasn’t bad and the coating gave it an antique look. Not good for something requiring a smooth finish

                      Thank you for reaching out, Cyndie. To ensure the smoothest application of Rust-Oleum Varathane Ultimate Water-Based Spar Urethane shake the can vigorously for at least 1 minute before applying, as well as throughout the application process. This will evenly distribute all settled pigments and resins and allow for a smooth spray. Can you please give us a call at 800-901-0411, and we would be more than happy to assist you further?

                      I read the reviews and some people complained the product didn't spray it came out like a clumpy foam. I thought they must have gotten a defective can. The can I bought did the same thing. Totally frustrating and had to use a cloth to smooth it out. I had used their product years ago and it was amazing. I can't believe Home Depot is selling this crap. My can will be going back for a refund.

                      We appreciate you taking the time to share what happened with our Varathane Diamond Wood Finish for Outdoor. We take every comment from our customers into consideration. To ensure the proper finish, it is essential that the can is shaken vigorously prior to each use and that it is shaken often during application. This will help to keep the solids suspended, avoiding things like clogging and sputtering. You may also clear the valve by holding the can upside down and spray until only a clear gas is emitted, or you can clean the nozzle tip with soap and water. If you have not gone back to the store as of yet, please consider having the can ready and call us at 1-800-387-3625, and we'll be happy to talk further with you. We would appreciate another chance to make things right. – Rust-Oleum Product Support 1 rustoleum-ca
