## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi can I use this over a painted cabnet door as a sealer ?  After  painting I realized I NEEDED to seal.  With the reviews of this product I hope I'm**
A: I have used it on unfinished wood, stained wood and wood painted a light color so that it wouldn't yellow and it would be protected from spills and stains.  You most certainly could use it on a painted cabinet door.  I would do 2 to 3 coats, with a very, very light sanding with 320 between coats.  Do not sand the cabinet door before you put on the first coat.

**Q: does it get yellow?**
A: I use it all the time and it has never yellowed on any light or white colored furniture that I have used it on. It’s my go to!

**Q: Is the flat finish really flat?**
A: HelloIf you take sheen on a scale of 1-100,  the flat will have a sheen of 10, versus the satin, that has a sheen of 35.Have a great dayWoodworkers Hardware

**Q: Can this be used outside over chalk paint?**
A: I've used it lots of times over chalk paint and it looks gorgeous.  My favorite is to use a super fine sandpaper (1600 or more) after 3 coats before the final coat.  Makes it feel incredibly smooth.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great finish, easy to apply and especially easy to clean up
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on 4 August 2024*

Very happy with the final result using this to finish a solid cherry quilt storage and display case that doubles as a bench. Had to be a bit careful when applying so that I didn't leave any drips or buildup but the result was perfect. Loved the cleanup with only water. The first coat raised the grain slightly but light sanding was all that was needed for the final two coats. Will totally use this product again for future woodworking needs.

    Easy to apply, no bubbles, fast dry time
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in Canada on 23 January 2024*

I love this product- it’s pricey but reliable and a little goes a long way.  I used it over a dry oil based wood stain when the oil based top coat bubbled, was uneven and was so slow to dry that household floaters were getting into the finish- had to wipe it off.  I applied this product as a test go and it was fabulous- dried fast enough that I had no inclusions and although I needed 2 coats it still didn’t consume a great deal of product.  I rolled it on with a foam roller for even delivery.  First I used it on dresser drawers, then on stair runners that I had been dreading to finish because of possibly getting things trapped in the finish, and also we need to use the stairs.  It’s my go-to top coat now.
