Q:I didn?t see anywhere on the packaging that stated that it?s not for flooring, so I just finished applying to my hardwoods throughout my house. What can I expect now???

Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for reaching out. Since floor coatings are designed to have some flex to them to accommodate the natural movement of floors, it is essential that you are using a floor-grade finish with walking surfaces. Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Ultimate Polyurethane will cure to a hard finish and will start to crack and peel the more it is walked on. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

      Answer This Question

      A:  Happy to help, Rudi. Varathane Matte Water Based Polyurethane cannot be applied over Varathane Satin Water Based Floor Finish Polyurethane, it cannot be applied to floors. Varathane Matte Water Based Floor Finish Polyurethane can be applied over the Floor Finish Stain. The last sheen of the last coat applied will be the final sheen of the surface. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Varathane-1-Gal-Clear-Matte-Water-Based-Interior-Polyurethane-2-Pack-286820/205926960 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

        Q:Can this be used on painted doors and trim?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Happy to help, Paige! As long as this is interior, generally painted surfaces can accept a polyurethane. It's a good idea to make sure you allow proper dry time of the paint, before considering use of the Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Polyurethane. Additionally, a test application should be considered to ensure desired results. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 1

          Quick and Glossy
          I tried out the Clear Semi-Gloss Water-Based Interior Polyurethane, and it's pretty awesome. This stuff gives a nice glossy finish to my wood projects without the hassle of oil-based products. It's water-based, so clean-up is a breeze, and it dries super fast too. The only downside is that it can be a bit thin, so you might need to apply a few coats for a really smooth finish. For the convenience and quick drying time, I'm willing to overlook that. It's a solid choice for my interior woodwork.

            So far so good
            So far it looks okay. Waiting to see how well it holds up. However, i needed more 1 gal product and no stores carry it and it will take a week to get it. That's just not acceptable.

            Dries fast to touch
            refinished countertops with granite-look contact paper. Used water-based gloss polyurethane to seal the seams, for added durability/protection and the keep glossy look of the contact paper. I also coated peel-and-stivk PVC tile used as kitchen backsplash. Again to seal the seams, for added protection and to extend durability. The backsplash tile was slightly textured, which minimized the gloss, which was good. I usually also add a coat to spray-painted wallplates to help the spray-paint last.

              Worked perfectly forgot I needed
              I needed to refinish a dining room table and a butcher block countertop with a resilient finish, protective wood from scratches and hot items. I did a lot of research and decided not to pay attention to negative reviews because it sounded like the problems came from user error. This product is perfect. It is easy to apply with a high-quality, synthetic, bristle brush, it dries very fast. The finish strong and smooth and beautiful. Just remember to stir frequently when applying.

                NOT Scratch resistant, very soft
                I followed the instructions on the can to the letter. I applied three coats, with ample drying time (4 hours between coats). Then I applied 2 more coats, sanding before each. Then I let it dry for three days to cure before normal use. So far it has been soft to the touch, scratched by my fingernail and soft, blunt, plastic objects, and gouged by my cat. Very unhappy with this finish.

                Let's talk about this, Jamie! While Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Ultimate Polyurethane does fully dry after 3 days in ideal conditions, a complete cure can take up to 7 days. Once fully cured, the coating will have reached full hardness. We recommend avoiding scratching the surface before that point.
