Worst product on the market
I finished a table and bench seat for my granddaughter. I used Dura seal stain. Let it sit for three days. Use the matte finish spray polyurethane gave it two coats and did a scratch test one week later. It’s scratched right off like nothing. I used a quart can for the top of the table and it says self leveling formula. It is 100% not self leveling. It leaves every brush mark worse than paint does. I’ve been in the business for 30 years and thought I would try this product. I have probably used 40 different types of polyurethane in the last 30 years, refinishing furniture, refinishing floors, custom work, etc.. I have to strip the table and the bench seat down completely and finish it with a product that I’m used to. Like Minwax, Dura seal Bona deft. Not happy.

Let's see if we can help, Ringo. If Rust-Oleum Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane is scratching off after a week it sounds like it was not able to cure. This could be due to the surface having grease or other contaminants, hindering the Polyurethane from curing. Please also note that brush marks can be from overworking while applying.

Go-to Top Coat
This has been my go to top coat for my projects that need a tough protective finish. Even though it says it’s a matte finish it still has a slight sheen but one that I can live with. It feels like it will hold up to heavy traffic like for bar stools that were my latest project. I like that it takes only one coat making projects finish quicker. I will use again!

Hands down, the best finish ever
I have been using this poly exclusively for about three years for all my woodwork. I make and sell handmade home decor.
I use all Varathane Stain and lacquer. This enables me to work faster than if I used oil based stains or lacquers that require sanding between coats. This rarely does unless I don’t properly sand the pieces I am coating.
The finish is perfect and buttery smooth EVERY TIME.
Here is how to get a perfect finish with this:
1. Work in a well lit area and pay close attention to how well you cover your piece.
2. Your brush should be almost DRIPPING when you apply this. You want a thick coat so it can level out.
3. Use light, continual strokes and work quickly.
4. You don’t want this looking “milky” when applying. That means you used JUST a little too much. Run your brush back once or twice over until the milky look is just really wet looking.
5. Don’t go back over it once you have applied. Wait.

devastating blow to my project
Spent several days prepping my table for a grey weathered look using a verathane aged wood stain. Table was awesome and ready for final step. The poly step. Omg this stained the whole table dark brown! The can say “amber affect” but why call it clear coat.? It ruined the whole project! Extreme amber affect!

Let's talk about this! While Rust-Oleum Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane can be used over stained surfaces, the Varathane Aged Wood Accelerator and Weathered Wood Accelerator are a different type of wood finish. The Wood Accelerators must first be topcoated with Rust-Oleum Varathane Watco Lacquer Spray before another topcoat is applied, as this will prevent the poly from reacting to the product.

Timesaver and easy to use! I stained my interior doors using a stain/polyurethane combo product but with a satin finish. I then applied two coats of this product and achieved a matte (flat) finish that was easy to apply with a 2 1/2 inch brush. I found it best to apply product vertically in sections of about 8 inches wide. The overlap areas did produce a different texture which actually looks really nice on my wooden doors.

This stuff is amazing.
I used another brand of poly on our smooth maple plywood and it was super shiny and sticky and looked terrible. I bought this and 1 qt went a long way! It went on incredibly smooth and dried even better. Love the matte finish!

I bought this to use with the Rust-oleum Cabinet Transformation kit as the reviews said it was easier to apply & no bubbles. It really was! I applied it with a paint brush, removing any small thickness in the corners with a small foam brush. It turned out great, and using the Varathane Triple Thick, I only had to apply one coat with NO bubbles. Love it and will use again on the upper cabinets!
