MinwaxHelmsman Water Based Spar Urethane, Quart, Gloss

Easy to spray on. We used it on some bamboo fencing (use to separate things that were not very pretty to look at, like my husband's worm farm project). We sprayed on three coats, and used only one can, as it went a lot further than we thought it would. However, we were told than we could not return the other three (we had purchased four spray cans), which is understandable. The smell of the spray went away much quicker than we thought. The bamboo fencing should retain its nice original color for some time in the future.

I have an east facing door that gets beat on by the sun for couple of hours every day. The original finish cooked right off and started splitting the wood. I sanded the door back down to raw wood, filled in the splits, re-stained with a Minwax stain, then followed up with 3 coats of Helmsman Spar Urethane. It was tedious to do at first because it was a lot of work to get the door back to raw wood and you have to wait 4 hours and sand in between coats. Now that it's done, it's never worn through the 3 coats. Annually I use a red scotch bright sanding pad and lightly re-sand, add a coat, wait 4 hours and re-sand, then another coat. It's much faster now that I'm just adding coats and using a scotch bright sanding pad to refinish the urethane. Less than 30 min to sand and re-coat each layer. Use a good quality brush like a Purdy. I used a cheaper brush in the past and it left brush strokes in the finish. Clean with mineral spirits. I liked it so much I ended up doing the same finish on my east/west facing wood gate that gets sun all day long and it holds up great.

An awesome product! We redid our wood dining table and this stuff is super impressive. Easy to clean and no sticky residue and holds up with lots of spills from our kids. Easy to apply as well.

Good value. Allows you to spray in difficult areas. Protects well.

I used this for outdoor "yard art", specifically a few metal signs and then several wood signs our family painted. This sprays in a nice, uniform spray and covered very well. Of course part of that is technic so it doesn't pool and run. Still, gives a nice looks with protection. I've used this before and it will, over time and especially in the sun start to peel a bit, but I think it works well for my projects.

Can holds generous amount. Applies evenly

Product is as advertised and worked great! I highly recommend! Water based easy to rinse brushes off

Great finish with new spray pattern perfecto
