Review on Eco-Friendly Solarez UV Cure Grain Filler & Sealer - Perfect For Fine Furniture, Guitars, Pool Cues And DIY Woodworking! by Ryan Lindstrom

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fumey and Tacky, but still a good product

Make sure to stir it to make sure everything is mixed properly before use. It is advertised as a non-fumey, non tacky, quick finish. Unfortunately you cant have it all. It still has a powerful smell, but not as toxic as a laquer. The stuff cures a bit tacky, and sanding between coats is definitely advised. Besides those errors in their advertising, it still is a great product that cures quickly and works great to fill and seal the grain. Highly recommend!

Pros
  • Reacts not by evaporation but by photochemical reaction in seconds, not hours. Summer sunlight is best and a sunlamp will work well in winter. UV flashlights can be used but will require 385nm coverage and will take longer. Thicker than 3/25 inch may require layering to cure completely though.
Cons
  • Can be prone to cracking or peeling over time, reducing its longevity
