I used this to varnish (seal) the inside of a wood storage ottoman that I made with my Dad. I store extra bedding in there, and the "raw wood" smell wasn't great... it's not cedar, it's plywood and pine. I have researched so many different kinds of varnsih, and settled here for both cleanup and cost. I'm so happy I did.

I used a sponge "brush" which in hindsight wasn't the best choice. The absorbent nature made application a pain in the behind. Next time I varhish something I will be sure and use a bristle (traditional) brush. BUT once it was all applied I was happy with the results.

Note: When first applied there is a little bit of an odor, that to me resembles what school glue (elmer's) smells like... It wasn't gross or overpowering, but I was a little worried it might not go away. I let the varnished wood dry overnight. In the morning when I went and checked it out, zero odor. Literally no detectable odor. It's been about a week since I finished the project and just before I wrote this review (minutes ago) I checked again... no odor. Super pleased.

Also cleanup is a breeze - only need water.

Saved me a lot of frustration... First of all product dries clear. People , who wrote it is foggy just did not wait enough ( it takes about 20 min for fog to be gone), so when you first apply it- it looks like it is in a deep fog, but 20 min later coat is clear and strong.
I used washable acrylic by accident on my painting. And painted some oil parts on it. Once I realized I used washable paint- I did not know what to do. First I tried varnish spray. It did not help much, acrylic was still "washable". I tried sargent gloss and it worked.
Today I applied it onto the oil painting as it has some uneven spots ( shiny and very dull). Yes, you can use it on thinly painted oil, I called Sargent 800 number and I was told I should be Ok. So, I am glad I found this product. It works for what I needed so far.

works perfectly for what I need, to seal acrylic paint and add gloss shine. wasn't cloudy, after a shake and stir, and after drying created the effect I needed. better price than in stores locally.

This clear acrylic medium is making the water scenes come to life! Great purchase for an acrylic painter!

Good product for students or professional. Added a nice sheen to my nieces clay projects.
