Review: Water-based finishes need a bit more attention - Works great. I think some of the reviews about the nozzle sputtering are from folks who might not know that you have to care for the nozzle. First off, NEVER spray any new can of finish on a project without testing it. This stuff dries quickly, so it may have dried in the nozzle, causing sputters. I didn't experience any problems, but here's the proper way to avoid them: 1) shake the can of course... be vigorous and take some time if it's a new can. Do it until your arm starts to feel it. 2) Before you use it on an actual piece, do some tests on similar scrap wood (this is finishing 101 level stuff). If it spittles, then you know you have to do the next step before actually using it. 3) hold the can upside down, and spray until nothing comes out. There's a straw inside the can that draws from the bottom of the can (so turning it upside down leaves a pocket of propellant that the nozzle draws on to clear the nozzle. Doing this clears the entire spray path. 4) your pray pattern should be from near to far, just as an automotive sprayer would do. The logic is that if you spray far to near, your overspray gets caught in semi-dray spray and will show. If you go near to far (without much delay), it will be absorbing/dissolving the overspray as you advance. And yeah, that means you should spray in a continuous three sides... I use something that works like a barbecue stake (but more subtle). The point is to turn it side, top, side, and the reverse the direction of the project and go from the other side. 5) use a wet q-tip to quickly clean the nozzle. Acrylic dries quickly, so have the damp q-tip ready beforehand. 6) test again, and then use it on your final piece. 7) do steps 2-4 with every use., and maybe even soak the nozzle in very hot water if it acts up (like 190º, just shy of boiling). All that said, water-based finishes are some of the hardest to apply because they dry so fast and once dry are very resistant (okay, nearly impossible) to bring back to a liquid state... much more difficult than oil finishes. They have some amazing properties though, and are generally lightweight, which is important in some applications. There is a middle-ground here, which I prefer as a first coat no matter what the final coat may be. That would be shellac, an alcohol-based finish that is friendly to both water and oil finishes. You can thin it and spray it, but please not indoors, or at least without a cartridge-style mask with the proper cartridges *and* an air flow through wherever you may be spraying it ( <— good advice with any finish). If you get into it, you can buy shellac flakes in several grades of purity and color, then mix it with alcohol as needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good brand good product
*by M***L on July 10, 2025*

This is a go-to item for protective finishes. I most recently got a can of this for my wife who wanted to seal her diamond art so I can attest that it works very well for that keeping in mind a couple of things. If you're feeling something like diamond art you need to use several light coats allowing for some drying time between because otherwise if you put it on too heavy too fast it will pull up in the pockets between beads and you will have one runny mess. Want to know how I know that? Seriously this is a really good polycrylic spray and has a great clear finish
