This is the best oil-based finish I've ever used to both bring out the grain of the wood and leave the wood color looking natural. It doesn't yellow like polyurethane or varnish-type wipe-on finishes.
One caveat: the finish left in the can has a short shelf-life {a couple of months}. It will eventually turn into a jelly-like mass which can't be restored with paint thinner to its original thin consistency. You can still use it in a thickened state as a wipe on/off finish, although it will be more time-consuming to work with. Bloxygen will slow down the gelling process, but won't stop it. Only buy it in small cans or as much as you think you will use in a couple of months.
Also: when you use the finish on your wood project, wipe it off fast. It dries very quickly compared with other polyurethane and varnish finishes, and will start to grab at your wiping cloth if you don't get it off fast enough.

Fantastic finish! It gave my otter CD holder just the right amount of bling. I did take him in after the photoshoot.

Over the years my wife has refinshed dozens of antique furniture pieces, as well as finished new pieces I have made. This is by far the best, easiest finish we have ever used. It goes on quickly and easily without streaking, dries quickly, and has held up very well. We have used it over stains or on barerecently stripped wood with equal results. We try not to get any larger quantity than we will use in a relatively short time, as it does thicken after a can is opened.

I love this stuff! I have never used anything like it. I'm refinishing 3 antique rockers that have been in the family forever. On the first one I was a little worried after all my prep work to mess things up - could not believe a finish could be wiped on with a rag and end up looking fabulous - not a single streak, bubble or brush mark. I'm a convert from Minwax now. Beautiful finish and with the General Finishes Java gel stain, the chair looks like a million bucks. I'll be using General Finishes products for all of my projects now!

I used the general finishes oil/urethane topcoat a few days ago on a coffee table and I must say this has been the best finish I have used yet. I too have always used the minwax quick dry polyurethane and have not been pleased. THis product looks great, provides a smooth finish, and will be the finish of choice for me.

I read an artical in a woodworking magazine on General Finishes and gave it a try. I had been using Minwax for years and was not satisfied with the results. The Arm-R-Seal gives me a smooth finish every time without much sanding between coats. I will use nothing but General Finishes products from now on.
