Rust-Oleum 9241H Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane Exterior Wood Varnish (Oil-Based | Gloss Finish | 946 ML)

Very good product. One application is not adequate. After each application, sand the wood nicely. The wood gaps and cracks needs to be filled up. The final coat, may be third or if possible the 4th coat needs to be thinned out with turpentine oil and a thin layer needs to be applied with a brush in one direction. It lends a nice look to the final wood finish.

I am a very picky person, this product really impressed me. It spreads easily and after drying it looks and feels amazing. I also appreciate the fact it has the UV protection.

good

This is good stuff - only thing to use outdoors as i have tested for many years in the Texas sun. Do not use a roller and do not shake the can - stir only and stir often

Refurbished my front door threashhold. Sanded, stained, then three coats of this wonderful stuff. Beautiful results. Shiny and durable.

I had a very tough application (100% exposure to west side full South Texas sun on an outdoor wooden table). I contacted Them for some guidance, and their technical folks were very responsive. It is tough to apply. I ended up with some brush steaks that could not be felt, only seen. Technical folks said it was from me over brushing. This is a very thick liquid and it takes some effort to put on and still have not figured out to put on without back brushing. Temperature is a factor too. I had to apply before the temp got over 90 deg F which does not take long in the summer to get there. Only time will tell if this will hold up, but I think it looks pretty good. Using semi-gloss with a Wooster brush - 4 coats on top and 3 coats on the bottom.
