Just terrible results -
Maybe I bought 'old' stock, but, there were small white dots in the can, that went onto my project.
Secondly, the coverage was terrible, used 2/3 of a quart on a 30 inch x 6 foot butcher block counter top.
Lastly, stroke marks like you wouldn't believe.
Wish I could return this product, as I have to start over.

Horrible!!!
This stuff is HORRIBLE!!! Way, way, way too thick. Goes on so thick it’s white - even after drying for 3 days!!! And following the can directions, when it’s sanded it turns COMPLETELY white!!! My table is ruined so I have to sand it all down and start over!!!

Let's see if we can help! Since Rust-Oleum Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane is a thicker coating, you want to apply in the direction of the wood grain with one, thick smooth uniform coat. Applying too thick of a coating can hinder the drying process, not allowing the coating to dry from white to clear.

Used on new oak stair treads and risers. Was definitely thicker than the regular product. Very easy to work with and keep a wet edge. Dried to a nice satin finish. Two coats provided excellent build and it is a very hard, clear finish. Time will tell how it wears but confidence is high!

Won’t work with one coat & shows brush
I used this on bare wood table. Thought I could just do one coat as it states (wrong)
It says that it self levels (wrong)
It would not even level out the brush
marks. Had to re-sand and buy
the regular polyurethane.

We appreciate you sharing your experinece! For the best finish, it is essential that Rust-Oleum Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane is applied with a high quality synthetic bristle brush. You want to apply one thick coat in the direction of the wood grain and not overwork the product on the surface. Going over the area once it has started to dry or tack up will cause brush marks. If applying over a porous surface, if the product was applied thinner, a second coat will likely need to be applied. We do recommend lightly sanding the surface with 220 grit sandpaper prior to recoating to ensure a smooth finish.

My wife likes it
You get ok build in one coat and good with two. It dries faster than oil base and cleans up with water. Note that it is fundamentally different from oil-base urethane. It does not impart a "warm" tone and produces less figuring. If this is what you want, you'll probably like it. If not, you should try something else. The sample photo is a "White (pine) board" from HD.

Dries clear- use for flat surfaces
First coat looked good dried crystal clear but used 2 coats for more protection. 2nd coat had a little haze in parts but overall clear. A thick, even, coat leveled off well on the flat surface. I had to touch up the verticals surfaces and edges right away to prevent drips.

Horrible streaky texture
Even if you follow all of the instructions with a high quality brush, you will get the texture of the paintbrush strokes as your finish. If you go as thick as some people were recommending, you get drips down the side. I did 1 coat and it was streaky, with lines of thick product and lines that were basically raw wood. I lightly sanded it down and just applied a second coat with the hopes of it filling in the paintbrush texture and as you can see in the picture, it isn’t getting any more smooth.

If brush strokes occur during the application, we recommend lightly skimming the surface with the brush to knock these down, smoothing the finish. If you can give us a call at 800-901-0411, we will be happy to help. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2

Absolutel dumpster fire of a product.
I used minwax high build for years from home depot. For some reason they don't carry it anymore.. Now all they have is varathane The stuff is absolute garbage it doesn't flow out leaves tons of brush marks now I have to redo a whole project and on top of that if you put it on thick it will not dry clear. Do not waste your time or money with this product!
