Made my kayak beautiful. I did have a bit of a problem finding the right thickness, the first coat I added thinner on a 1-10 ratio and this made it thin enough that running was a problem, so I didn’t add any thinner on the second coat and that coat went on too thick. Find the sweet spot and you’ll love this rod it.

Slow drying time but that is what makes it work so well to refinish and build up layers and layers.
Picture of very old door that now shines with six coats of sanding and finishing. The attached photo shows how nice the very old door looks after finishing the build up of the 6 layers or coats.

We used this product on our south facing fir door and it holds up well to the sun and looks beautiful. It's the matte finish so it's not shiny which is what we wanted.
