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!

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience, Paul. To ensure a smooth finish with Rust-Oleum Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane, it is essential that it is applied with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush. It is also best to avoid overworking the product on the surface.

This product works well. I used it for a reclaimed wood project that had a lot of imperfections. It went on white and dried clear. I only used one coat and seemed to be enough.

Never have I been so disappointed
I bought waterbase poly because it doesn't yellow yet this poly yellows, not just a slight yellow tone, the white is full on light yellow. In the picture the white leg of my board has no poly so you can see how yellownitnis and the picture doesn't even get close to showing the real tone. It's also very hard to work with to ensure you get a smooth finish, if you are working with anything larger than maybe a 16x16 area you most likely will not be able to get the whole thing smooth with no bubbles and it doesn't self level unless you were to lay it on think. This product doesn't stay clear but you should stay clear of it if you want your work to look like it did before you applied not.

That was not the intention. The Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-based Triple Thick Polyurethane will not yellow as long as it is applied according to the product label directions. A thicker coating than what is recommended can have adverse results. It is important to mix the container and avoid shaking it to prevent bubbles in the finish. Any bubbles that do appear should dissipate once the coating self-levels. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5
