JK 13- Tennessee: Was surprised at the thickness of the product, but pleased with how it flows out.

yankeeornovember: Used it to seal Acacia Wood butcher block countertops. Stained first, waited 24 hours, then applied this. Waited ~24 hours between coats, applied 4, sanded with 200 grit paper very gently, then applied a final coat. Results are smooth, clear, hard, waterproof, and impressive. Very happy with the quality. It recommends lambs wool brushes, what a joke, I used dollar store foam brushes (you won't be able to clean this out of your brushes unless you have mineral spirits, and you won't be able to reuse the same brush because it hardens overnight, just use a new cheap foam brush every day. Great results, very happy

Gary GGary G: Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish works well for furniture and items that will likely be in a high use environment. I found that 3 brushed-on coats both sealed and provided a medium to high gloss sheen, and made a good base for a final Waterlox "high gloss" (separate product) finish coat, as shown in the 3rd picture.
For this particular project and surface (African Mahogany and Walnut), sanding was down to 320 grit. I also used a grain and pore filler (Aquacoat transparent) on a sealing coat of clear waxless shellac 1 lb cut. Unfortunately, the shellac caused some unacceptable discoloration under the grain filler, and had to be removed through extensive sanding after the 1st coat of Waterlox sealer. Quite laborsome, but the Waterlox sanded out relatively easily. The pore filler was quite tough to sand out. Also, I should have thoroughly tested this approach before applying.

Waterlox on the pore filler would have been fine without the shellac base, I believe.

Nevertheless, once the surface was again prepared, I used just the Waterlox Original Sealer/ Finish in 3 coats. Out of a fresh can, Waterlox spread quite liberally with a brush, and I had to pay close attention...

HammerTimeHammerTime: I used Waterlox original finish and sealer on my IKEA Hammarp oak butcher block counters. I first sanded the counters with 220 till they were very smooth. Cleaned with tack cloth. Used a Shur-line pad painter to apply the product. It is very thin, not like paint. (I dripped a bit of Waterlox in my new stainless steel sink and am not sure how to remove it. I think you can use mineral spirits but I was worried about using that on my new sink.) Per the instructions on their website, I applied a liberal amount of Waterlox to the countertops with the pad painter using long smooth strokes. It was easy to apply and not at all fussy, there were small air bubbles and brush strokes, but they all disappeared. I wasn't sure how perfect it needed to be, I watched many videos of other people applying it, and some people were careful while others just slapped it on with an old rag. It seems to be very forgiving. I sanded very lightly with 220 after the first coat since it seemed to raise the grain up a little. I also sanded a bit after the second coat, but skipped the sanding after the third coat since it was really smooth. (Waterlox website says that sanding is not necessary for adhesion...

Alex B: Have yet to use the product (I am sure it will be great). Gave 4 stars as I got hit with a customs clearing bill for $15.00 that I wasn't warned of and isn't typical of my Amazon experience. I live in Canada.

Jason: Great stuff. Takes a while in prep and betwixt coats but if you take the time it finishes well. Water beads.
