            Horrible
            They looked great at first. I used 4 coats of this product and after a few months the coating wore off and my floors looked permanently dirty. They were so bad that I had to re sand and poly the whole floor 5 months later with something else. Very unhappy.

              Very happy with it,just have to be very careful with any area rugs you have,they must be put down with non slip Grippies! I fell down in my own kitchen the other day,my rugs had no non slip Grippies on and on one coat of sealer the rug went flying and so did I!

              Definitely has an odor, but it wasn’t as stinky as I thought. I followed the package instructions but let the floors cure for a week longer before using the rooms again. So far this stuff seems very durable. Did not have to sand between coats because I applied each coat after the 2 hour dry time. My opinion is that this is a good alternative to Bona if you don’t wanna spend 3x the $$ on poly!

              Dries super fast, one downside...
              Perfect solution for DIYers.....dries in less than an hour, coats well with minimum streaking, and awesome coverage (3 coats of 600 sft). So, what's the only downside? It makes the floor very slippery. Very. I decided to refinish the stairs at the same time. They became so slippery it was plain dangerous to walk. My old Lab slid down on 13 steps down- I though that was s gonna be the end of him. Solution - had to get a Rastoleum antislip additive and add two coats of each step. That has improved the grip significantly, but not perfectly. The main floor remained slippery, so I guess we gonna have to get used to it. Overall, we are happy with the product, it gives a beautiful sheen, not too glossy, and it's worth the money.

                It was easy to apply. I followed the manufacturer’s instructions and applied four coats. I was able to put on all four coats in the same day in a couple of the rooms. It dried quickly. I waited 2 hours in between coats. I didn’t think there was much of an odor. It’s been a few weeks and so far it’s holding up well.
