Fastest drying oil based Polyurethane

11 months ago
I've used the Behr oil based polyurethane on several small jobs and I am impressed with the speed of drying compared to the typical Minwax polyurethane. I recommend this to others due to the speed alone. I would really like to see a hardness and abrasion test comparison from the company.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Quality

We live where there is plenty of sunlight and we’re worried about the siding because of the harsh winters as our snow melt takes a long time so the snow is constantly on the surface

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not drying.

a year ago
It has been 18 hours since I brushed this on freshly stained oak cabinet frame. Also used a spray on urethane on cabinet doors. The spray on is still tacky but I can gently handle it but the brush on is wet and sticky and cannot be touched without transferring to my fingers. This is used on a bathroom cabinet and I have had a fan blowing on it for 15 hours and it does not seem to be getting dryer.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there, thank you for reviewing our Spar Urethane. I’m sorry to hear the coating still isn’t dry after 15 hours. Although the coating should be dry to the touch and fully cured after 72 hours, cooler temperatures and higher humidity can extend the drying times. I’d suggest giving the coating more drying time, which should help the issue. I’ve also reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and assist you with this further. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us, and I hope to hear from you soon! -Ronald

Not drying properly

2 years ago
Brand new can of oil-based spar varnish. Restoring an old wooden level. Followed all instructions (temperature, stirring, prep) and the first coat is still tacky after 24 hours. Should have bought product I guess. Will have to strip off thisgoo and start over😡

No, I do not recommend this product.

Hello, thank you for your review. I'm so sorry to hear that our Oil-Based Spar Urethane is drying slower than expected and that the surface is tacky. That is not the experience we want for our customers, and I can understand your frustration. To fix the issue without having to strip the surface, I recommend allowing for more dry time with good ventilation. Please note that cold temperatures and high humidity can extend the dry time. If you're not able to give it more time, I recommend gently cleaning the surface with mineral spirits to remove the tackiness. I understand what it's like to run into unexpected issues, so I've reached out to you via email to learn more about your project and help turn this around. Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope to hear from you soon!
