Great instructions Great instructions, easy to apply, fabulous looking and feeling Matt finish. I used this for a rainbow wood cap on a pony wall around a living room stairwell, a portion of which is a bar facing the TV and fireplace. I am a reasonably accomplished hobby woodworker and have used numerous quality finishes (including rub on) over the years, this was one of the more unique ones - Great grain and color highlighting. I tried both pure and natural on sample products and found the white in the natural not to work in my case as well as pure.

I love this product, but..... I love this product and it was very easy to use and the finished product was exactly what I was looking for. I am not however impressed with the durability! I refinished 2 pieces of English Walnut for charcuterie boards. They were allowed to cure for over a week before use and were extremely fine sanded before finishing. After one use they were heavily stained from berries and cheese and when scrubbed cleaned they are now dull and splotchy. I am now second guessing using this product again on future projects. For the price I expected more.

Samples disappointing I ordered 2 samples smoke 5% and natural and they barely provided any tint to my countertop. The colors shown don’t have an indication of what wood they may be applied to in order to produce the desired color. Unfortunately, I spent $13/sample and neither were near the sample swatch shown.

I'm a believer! Mark was incredible taking so much time to explain the Monocoat process and what I could expect with my rocker project. I was surprised that sanding would stop at 150 grit when I normally go to 220. On his recommendation I purchased a 20ml bottle of Pure and applied it to a piece of scrap from the rocker. Application was super easy. Just wipe it on and after 5-10 minutes, wipe it dry. The surface was so smooth, everyone in my wood club thought it was sanded to 220, but I had left a section unfinished for comparison. The Pure did everything Mark said it would and I will place an order to do the full rocker. Thank you Mark!

I used this on natural alder furniture… I used this on natural alder furniture for a bathroom linen cabinet and 6 foot double sink vanity. Easy to apply, and some great depth to the finish. Maintenance oil brought up just enough sheen. After applying, I noticed some glue stains that I missed. Sanded them out and spot reapplied - you can’t even see where the reapplication was - blended right in.
