Far better than shellac based finishes
Pad on, buff and wait 10-15 minutes before recoating. Builds a nice shine and is very durable. I have a pen that I finished over a year ago and use daily - still has a great looking gloss finish. I've used the shellac based finishes and after using this product I'll never go back. Takes a while longer but well worth the wait between coats. Much easier than the CA finishing process which I've never been comfortable with and provides a more natural looking product. I've also used this on small boxes (applied with a foam brush) with great results. ... show more

Solid deal
Hit the nail on the head here. Easier, cleaner, safer and just as durable as CA. Shoutout to the supplier Woodworkers Hardware for including a heating pad in the packaging.

Updated: Good alternative to CA.
So, I've been turning pens for 13 months. By no means an expert. Here is what I learned from trial and error: 1. WTF works great on stabilized wood, Cocobolo, anything wood where raising the grain is not a issue. 2. Works great when it is close to 100 F in your work space. Intermittent use of a hair dryer helps. 3. Let each coat dry before applying next one. Do not exceed 4 coats in 4hr period or you may get bubbles. 4. 9 to 12 coats will get you to a crystal clear finish. 5. Cure for a few days at above 80 F before final polish. 6. May take a week above 80 F for the slight smell of urethane to go away. 7. Applying on top of dyed unstabilized wood is a test of patience. Can be done. I still prefer WTF over CA even though it takes more steps because the result is more predictable. It's a learning curve. I wish they sold bigger bottles. 1st review: I've been turning pens for about 6months. Everyone Iikes my pens with CA finish. However, my CA finish gets cloudy when the weather is humid. I saw people using WTF on YouTube and decided to give it a try. Since it is water based, humidity is not an issue. I am still working out the bugs. The smell is nominal. No fumes. I would give it 5 stars but have yet to get the crystal clear finish. Once I do, I will revisit and update. It's worth the money and effort. ... show more

The Best Pen Finish
I have used this brand of pen finish for a decade. Much easier to apply than CA. Just as durable, if not more so.

Good woodturning finish
A friend gave me a bottle of this and after using it I knew he wasn't getting it back. Bought this bottle to replace the one I borrowed. Easy to use, gloss without being glassy.

Drys fast , no stinky odor.
I was tired of ca glue finish getting on my fingers and my pen bushings. Found WTF on Amazon so I thought I’d try it. Works fantastic on the lathe. Drys fast with friction. Polishes up beautiful. I did a pen and a bowl with it and will be buying more. No stinky Odor.

Easy to use
This finish, when applied as several thin coats, is very easy to use for turning projects. It gives a beautiful clear finish, which can be buffed to a high gloss.

Somewhat disappointing.
The end result was not as good as I expected.
