Beautiful polish with a soft finish.

Supplied in pimply packaging with the lid and seal torn off. Luckily it didn't leak everywhere. I can just swap out the caps on my old bottle I got from them last time (it came in an air cushioned box to soften it up a bit). Otherwise, it works well as a varnish, creating a soft finish with a slight sheen while maintaining a non-glossy finish.

Pros
  • Colors
Cons
  • Weight

Professional results!

I needed to fix a nick in my countertop. After patching and repainting I applied interior and exterior satin sealer to protect from water stains. Apply in thin layers with a sable brush. If you see small cracks, you applied too much at once. Sand lightly and reapply. Oh, Revain's price was better than buying at an arts and crafts store with his coupon! Bravo! So I bought two!

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Great if you need a glossy finish

Personally I usually prefer a matte finish to many of my clay items, but sometimes you just need something bright and shiny. It definitely does the job. It's easy to apply, you don't need much even in 2-3 coats, it doesn't smell. Small things have a big impact. It has a really nice sheen and doesn't look like it's streaked or anything. Also seals well. I haven't seen any chipping or color fading on anything I've used it on. I definitely recommend it.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Better than the competition

I have an elevated wooden dog food/water station that needed a refurb and was looking for something waterproof and non-toxic. The last time I used the ModgePodge outdoors, every drop of water my dog dripped turned white. It eventually rose and bubbled up and then broke. I bought it to have it refinished and so far it seems to be holding up much better. It goes much better and the finish is cleaner/smoother. The first few days I had milky spots on the finish when it got wet, but now that it's…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competition has arrived
