I love this stuff! I think this is the easiest finish I have ever used. I was introduced to it in the August 2005 issue of Fine Woodworking magazine where it received the "best value" and "best overall" ratings among the seventeen wipe on finishes tested. I was especially interested in the fact that it was graded as "excellent" in their water resistance test. This test measured how well it resisted staining when a wet bolt was left on the surface to dry overnight.   It is everything I want in a finish. It applies really easily, sands well, doesn't run or leave brush marks, and dries quickly so there are fewer dust specks. There isn't much smell when applying it and clean up is a simple.  It isn't as dull looking...

Quite possibly the worst product I have purchased in a long time. Since when do we need "no drying" wood putty? What's next no drying glue? After I applied a first application, I came back the next day to put a final fill into to fix any imperfections from the first fill. As I applied it, the putty knife started pulling out the first application. I felt it and it was still gooey. I read the side of the container and in the smallest writing it says non drying and will not dry to a sandable state. Great. Now I have to pull all that gunk out of all my screw holes and refill with something that will dry. What a waste of time.
