Resisthane Plus offers exceptional performance, striking enrichment of wood's color and depth, flawless adhesion, and remarkable durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResisthane Plus goes on as clear as water and then stays that way; it will not turn yellow or darken over time, even when exposed to sunlight. It does more to enhance the beauty of wood than many other water-based finishes. It has not a hint of cloudiness, no cold bluish tone, and no inertly plastic appearance. It deepens the color of dark woods such as walnut or mahogany, and goes on light-colored woods without yellowing their creamy color. Highly figured wood in particular acquires a great sense of depth, with light and dark areas reversing as point of view changes, creating a wonderful impression of seeing down into the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eApplication\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResisthane dries to touch (goes tack-free) within twenty minutes or less after application, and it's usually ready to re-coat within one hour. It sands readily between coats, serving quite well as a self-sealing finish without needing a separate first-coat sanding sealer. It flows out beautifully; it's so forgiving that spraying is nearly foolproof. Once cured, it's so tough that it is approved by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer's Association, whose standards define the best commercial finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of our guys here at the store, with considerable experience in commercial cabinet shops, put it this way, \"I put Resisthane Plus in my $30 gun and shot it just like nitrocellulose, and though I really didn't expect much, it worked like a charm. It looks so good and sets up so tough, I'm sold on it.\" If you're not already a fan, give it a try.
