This polyurethane provides a finish of extraordinary clarity and flexibility. Polyshield goes on water-clear and stays that way—it does not yellow with age or exposure to sunlight, making it the ideal finish for use on light-colored or painted woods, pickled floors & cabinets, or wherever a tough finish which adds no color is desired. A cured film of Polyshield is so tough it's hard to believe until you put it to the test, but you'll find it difficult to stain, tear, or even scratch the surface. Built-in UV inhibitors protect any substrate from full sun and weather exposure, making Polyshield competetive with much more expensive marine varnishes (Polyshield is rated for above-water line use only.)

Polyshield can be hand applied with pad painters, poly brushes, or fine bristle brushes, and it can be sprayed as well. Drying time between coats is about two hours. Thin and clean with water. Polyshield can be used over bare, stained, or previously finished wood, with this advice: as with oil-based polys, Polyshield depends for adhesion on good mechanical bonding; clean and scuff sand any existing coating before applying the poly and you'll have no trouble at all.
