Hard as nails when dry and great finish. It comes with a few issues but as long as you know upfront, you should be able to avoid them. 1- The product takes a VERY long time to dry. The package says 6 hours to the touch but I find that even 10-16 hours later, there's still tacky spots. The can does say in different climates that it could be longer or shorter but I'm in a controlled 70 degree location with low humidity. Be patient and you'll be fine. If you need to coat today and use tomorrow, pick something else. 2- The fact that it takes so long to dry increases the amount of dust in the finish so unless you have better filtration then I do, just know that you may want to sand the finish result with some 1500 or #0000 steel wool and buff it out. 3- As much as it takes forever to dry, when applying, it does flash quickly so be prepared to work quickly or you will have some issues with the start and stop spots. See pics. (My pics outline the issues with rapid flashing but I also tried to catch the dust in the finish. I'm confident that the lines and dust will sand and buff out however. Time will tell...) 4- Thinner multiple coats are better than thicker coats, just make sure you keep it wet. 5- The can says not to re-coat within 24 hours. Pay attention to this instruction! (if there was a bold option, that statement would be in bold) I first used a test piece to practice on since it was my first time with this particular product. I will normally throw on a second coat when the clear coat is tacky (when using polyurethanes) so I did the same with this. Big Mistake! The first coat crackled all over. It sanded out when dry and was repairable but lesson learned and hopefully I just saved someone the headache. Wait until completely dry, light sand with 220 or finer and re-coat. Make sure to blow it off and tack it off with a tack rag. You'll be very happy. In my case, I had one of those glass top patio tables which broke. I had some Peruvian Walnut hanging around so I built a new table top with recessed tiles and some gold leafing, really nice.. Anyway, I had previously poured and epoxy finish on it to create the build up, and then sanded and applied 3 coats of this varnish (sanding in between coats) for the UV protection and such. The only problem with application was no matter how quickly I moved, by the time I got back to a starting point (and I'm talking short distances, under 3 feet at a time), the starting point had flashed causing me to try and blend the area. It's doable but difficult and I'm not an amateur, I'm a professional contractor with my own business for the past 17 years specializing in custom built kitchens. I'm thinking that maybe I should have sprayed it, but I brushed it thinking it would be easier. If I was going to do it again, I'd definitely try spraying. I also think that a solid piece, without cutouts, would go easier. In the end, the resulting finish when complete is outstanding. I would have given this 4 stars because my can was delivered 1/2 smashed. When opening, it was like a time bomb going off. I was prepared with a rag over the top but it was quite the mess nevertheless. However, the guidelines say not to grade on shipping or seller experience. If you are looking for a quality finish, this is it, but just know that you need to work at it. My table is still drying as I write this. I'll give it another day, maybe two then sand it down and buff it out. Once complete I'll add a picture of the final result. I'm confident that it will be fabulous! Review: Mccluskey Spar Varnish keeps this 65 year old picnic table "like new" BEAUTIFUL! - Great product...I have used before and needed more but have had to wait for the temperature to be lower along with the humidity but I will be applying this week as the weather cools. Using on a picnic table that my father purchased in the 1950's which he applied Spar Varnish every few years (and stored indoors during winter). I have used the table many years through the late 1990's and stored on a covered porch over the winter and have sanded the top surface and legs which were showing wear and have applied one coat on the legs and the bottom of the table top that really was almost perfect but felt another coating would help preserve the surface. I expect this will go to one of my children one day and it will still be very strong and beautiful. You could never find such a good picnic table on the market today so protecting it is critical to keeping this picnic table in the family for at least another generation. Love the Spar Varnish which is better than the Spar Urethane. Only issue was that I could only get shipped to PA in a quart size. Would have liked to have gotten the gallon size...as I have other wood I regularly coat. ## Features - Built to resist weathering - Resists salty air and water - Great for use on boats - Use on outdoor furniture, fences and trim - Maximum UV protection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000LNS882 | | Best Sellers Rank | #397,197 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #376 in Household Polyurethanes, Shellac & Varnish | | Brand | Valspar | | Brand Name | Valspar | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 173 Reviews | | Finish Type | Gloss | | Finish Types | Gloss | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012027750929 | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | MCCLOSKEY 7509 Mow Spar Varn Gloss | | Item Weight | 2.1 pounds | | Liquid Volume | 32 fluid ounces | | Manufacturer | MCCLOSKEY | | Manufacturer Part Number | 7509-05 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Warranty | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 7509 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Exterior | | UPC | 012027750929 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![MCCLOSKEY 7509 Mow Spar Varn Gloss - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ICyHQ5XCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product but takes work *by S***1 on June 19, 2016* This varnish is a fabulous product!
