DEFT 1 gal Deft DFT011 Clear Clear Wood Finish Brushing Lacquer Semi-Gloss

Beautiful finish and drys quick. 30 minutes between coats and not sanding between. The new coat chemically bonds with the prior coat. I've used it for almost 20 years applying to fine furniture and have done commissioned works. I can put 5 coats on in a 1/2 day. Leaves a nice beautiful finish and collects little dust during dry because it drys so fast! Another great feature is that its easy to repair and refinish down the road should that be needed. A little sanding, tack rag and area spray and its invisible without have to refinish the entire pieces. Its called brushing lacquer but I apply using a HVLP sprayer and it works fantastic. Its brushing because it probably has an additive to help leveling but that only makes it easy to spray on and get a perfect coat. I have brushed it on on some quick small projects and it did very well but not as smooth as when sprayed. I have won several woodworking awards using this product sprayed on with HVLP. Its durable ...ive used it on many chairs and it holds up great. Only sold in my area in small spray cans due to environmental restrictions so its great to be able to buy gallons online.

Exactly what is supposed to do. Best in the market

Ease of finishing and the result. Use it on the plaques I make to bring out the natural wood beauty

I've been using this stuff for decades and I still go back to it when I have a large project to finish. It sprays nicely when thinned a little and even brushes on well when you resist the urge to backbrush. Sadly, this has been pulled from the market in California. If I wasn't an upstanding citizen I might be tempted to go to Nevada and smuggle a case or two back into the socalist paradise.

Deft Clear Wood Finish is my goto finish for all my indoor woodworking projects. Great drying time, self-leveling and provides a durable, long-lasting finish. Shipping is a concern with this product - I ordered four gallons and got a notice that the shipment could not be completed and had been cancelled. No real details provided. I ordered again and when the package arrived I understood the problem. All four gallons were loose within a box that had a great amount of extra space where the cans could roam around during shipment. My suspicion is that with the first order, one of the cans ruptured or the lid came off during shipment.The shipping container needs to be a tight fit and made of more durable cardboard for shipment of this item.

This is an excellent finish for both brush-on or spray. For brush-on, as it drys the brush marks disappear almost like a spray finish. Even though it says “brush on” on the can, it works just fine for my HPLV sprayer with only a 10% dilution with thinner.The finish is crystal clear. And when sprayed on, it is ready for another coat in minutes. For larger projects, by the time I spray the last part the first one is ready to get another coat. With polyurethane, you wait hours or days between coats and the finish isn’t as good.The only down side is that you can get water marks if you put something wet on it, like a glass or cup. If the application is for a kitchen or bath then poly may be the way to go.

Great product horrible seller cancelled twice in a row.

Fast dry. Finished doors.
