Amazing product
This was the first time I used spray spar urethane, so I was skeptical about its application and finish. First, it is straightforward to apply. Second, I found that for best results, apply 4 coats, lightly sanding the 3rd. This really created awesome finish. Overallam really pleased with the coverage and end result. While using any finish rather it be water-based, oil-based, spray, or brush, the key is patience.

    So far so good. Applied to a fiberglass door that is beaten up by the sun in the mornings. I used 2 cans and applied several (probably 10) light coats. So much better than when I used a paintbrush last time. The door looks great (lightly sanded cloudy finish with 320 first). But I don't know how this will hold up in the sun. Too bad I can't be reminded by Home Depot to update in a year.

    Of the 6 cans I received, only one sprayed the varnish correctly. This was after shaking each can vigorously before use. The product did not spray out. It spits out in bubbles in clumps causing me extra work to sand the surface to remove the product. The oil-based product works much better although the drying time is so much longer.

    Let's see if we can help, James. For a consistent spray when applying Rust-Oleum Varathane Water-Based Spar Urethane shake the can vigorously for at least 1 minute before applying, as well as throughout the application process. This will evenly redistribute any settled pigment or resin and ensure for smooth passage through the dip tube and nozzle of the can.

    Spray issue
    I have purchased this before but this latest batch of 6 cans has an issue where the spray is coming out more clumpy than a fine mist. I have tried multiple cans from the 6 pack and the same issue occurs. The cans were kept inside my house before use and well-shaken. Very disappointed.

    This is never what we expect to hear, James. For the best results when applying Rust-Oleum Varathane Spar Urethane be sure to shake the can vigorously for at least 1 minute before applying, as well as throughout the application process. This will evenly redistribute any settled pigment and resin and allow for easy passage through the dip tube and nozzle. Can you please give us a call at 800-901-0411, and we would be more than happy to assist you further?

      All cans in the pack of 6 I purchased were defective. I shook them for a very long time and when I went to use them, they came out like spray foam silly string. It ruined the project and I had to sand down multiple times. This occurred with multiple cans. I assumed maybe one was bad so I tried all 6 and all 6 were the same. Very disappointed.

      Doesn’t spray nicely
      I haven’t tested this outside yet, to see if it stands up to the weatherproof test, but I purchased 2 cans, and have used both. This product does not spray like a spray paint would. It sprays in splatter form, therefore I’m unsure how evenly it coats the item being sprayed. Unsure if I would use this again.

      Hi Michael, since our Varathane Ultimate Water-Based Spar Urethane Spray is a water-based clear coating, it will apply white, and dry crystal clear. If the coating dried white or hazy, this could be due to moisture in the surface, or too heavy an application in one coat. You can try wiping the surface with denatured alcohol to wick out the excess moisture; however, if the haziness does not dissipate, it may need to be sanded off carefully and reapplied. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2 Rustoleum

      This product was half the price buying in bulk than where I normally purchase. Delivery was took longer than expected but I was informed during the whole process which makes that better.

        An excellent product. We need this product to protect new screen-in porch furniture purchased at an antique mall. The product went in perfect and dried much quicker than I thought. Excellent finish. A great product.

        Nice stuff, but spray nozzle is mediocre. It does only a fair job of atomizing, resulting in some larger splatters.

        This product is amazing - it will ruin your art project in seconds! Whether you're working with an oil or water based medium, the paint will run when sprayed with a light coat of this finish. It's really remarkable that it can destroy hours of painstaking work in mere seconds. I'm so glad I now have six cans of this awesome product on hand.

        Thank you for your feedback! Rust-Oleum Varathane Spar Urethane Spray Paint is designed for use over bare, stained, or painted wood surfaces. You will want to ensure the paint or stain is completely dry prior to coating. Several light coats will also provide the best finish.

        I order the 6 pack often. The last few orders, at least 1 if not 2 of the 6 cans does not spray correctly. I end up not being able to use the practically brand new cans. Great product, just not as dependable for my liking.

        It doesn’t stick
        I use it to top an old coating of the same brand and grade. It doesn’t stick but forms fine dust on the floor. I have to vacuum it up.

          That is not what we like to hear! Sputtering with aerosol cans occurs if there is either a partial blockage in the nozzle, or if the solids are not completely mixed inside the can. Please give us a call at 800-901-0411, we want to learn more and get to the bottom of this. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2 Rustoleum
