Answer This Question

Hi Aarm, thank you for your question. As it turns out, our coatings are not FDA-approved, so we don't recommend them for use on countertops or other areas that may have direct or indirect food contact. Instead, I’d suggest checking with your local home improvement store to see if they have a product to recommend. Have a great rest of your day! - Angie

            Why ? What are the reasons for not using it on a deck ? Our Spar Urethane isn't recommended to be used on decks or other areas that will be walked on. Have a great day! -Ronald

                Hi Kirby, thanks for the question. I wouldn't recommend using an electric sprayer to apply the Spar Urethane. It should be applied with a high-quality natural bristle brush. Have a great day! -Ronald

                  Answer This Question

                  Hi Mike, thank you for your question. We do not recommend applying the Oil-Based Spar Urethane over painted surfaces because the oil-based can have an amber tint and it can affect the color of the paint. Have a great day! -Giovanna

                    The Spar urethane applies well and gives wood siding such a fresh look.

                      Fastest drying oil based Polyurethane
                      I've used the Behr oil based polyurethane on several small jobs and I am impressed with the speed of drying compared to the typical Minwax polyurethane. I recommend this to others due to the speed alone. I would really like to see a hardness and abrasion test comparison from the company.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live where there is plenty of sunlight and we’re worried about the siding because of the harsh winters as our snow melt takes a long time so the snow is constantly on the surface
