All my hard work for nothing, this product is not clear at all and gives a yellow finish. Kitchen cupboards are not a quick job. Now to start my whole project again!!!!

First can of polyurethane was gritty.
At first I thought I must have contaminated the product but after filtering it through a stocking it was fine.
Second can a small one to finish of the job, was impossible to stir due to sludge at the bottom of the can.
It was sent back to Bunnings.
I also, should have read the reviews before hand. Cabot's had a good name and was recommended by several people.
Clearly the product is not fit for purpose and should not be sold.
I am extremely disappointed that a large company like Dulux would present such a poor product.
It should not be "Let the buyer beware" and wasting their time.

Kicking myself that I only read reviews on this product after things went wrong, I have a beautiful piece of redgum that I spent hours hand sanding and was super excited to “bring out the color” with some clear coat. I prepared the surface to perfection and specification, lovingly applied the product and it’s absolutely ruined all my hard work.. This product is terrible, bubbles and lifts, then the second coat went milky... :( I will now have to spend hours sanding it back... incredibly disappointed in this well known brand..

As in title. I applied the product, on the tin it states ‘non yellowing’ and it turned the item yellow. Simply a waste of money and time so back to Bunnings I go! To return the item

Bought from Bunnings. The satin one is super high gloss and doesn’t look satin at all. Sticks to the bottom of the tin super hard to fully mix. I’ve used on a white wash acacia table bad results. Used on pine stained wood better but way below what I expected. Has bits in that are hard to work out. Not impress won’t buy again or ever recommend.

Even after much stirring this product is still has a thick glue consistency. While brushing it on it has "bits" in it that are hard to work out of the surface. Dries with a rough finish, almost like has sand in it. Cabots should be ashamed of selling this dud product, take it off the market. You have lost me as a customer forever.

This product is great Gloss or Satin as long as you follow the instructions.
I have finished many projects with amazing results every time
Drys quickly with a clear hardwearing finish

This is the most consistent water based varnish for Decoupage, I have some pieces still looking good after 25 years. Interestingly a couple of these, I have used black and white photocopies of my art, these have not discolored under about 30 coats of varnish. I leave it 24 hours between coat coats before sanding lightly and applying another coat. All paints and glue I use are water based.
I have also used other product on market for decoupage but found the results over time become cloudy and almost want to peel off the cut outs where it starts to deteriorate around edges

I used it to seal bark on wood rounds for decoration perposes. It went on milky white and I assumed would dry clear. After two days it’s still milky white.

Bought a 1 litre tin of satin water based from Bunnings. When I opened it it looked like a beige stringy jelly was floating on the top. I didn’t stir this in because I assumed it was semi set and I didn’t want to ruin the remainder. By the time I had removed the stringy jellified bits I was down 25%. Stirred the remainder but found the sediment at the bottom of the tin very stiff and hard to mix in. I’m going to take it back to Bunnings and swap for the very consistent oil based product which (apart from being purple!) does a good job.

Hard to mix well soo many solids in the bottom, put it over a painted table top and it absolutely ruined it. Dragged the paint, caused it to come off left brush strokes. Tried a second coat after 3 hours and it lifted up the first coat causing scratch marks. Worst clear coat I have ever used

I used this product in a spray can to restore a table for friends. On the second coat it blistered in six places. My only solution is to strip coats of vanish and begin again with a different product.

This is an excellent product
Fast drying and easy to apply
It’s milky white but when applied is clear
I applied 3 coats on my dining table that I sanded right back to bare wood .I lightly sanded in between coats but probably only needed 2 coats.
It says stir really well do not shake and continue stirring as your doing your project. It didn’t have a high odour.
I picked Matt not gloss and I love the look .
The best product I’ve used for indoor furniture.
Best product

I bought the satin water based product and found it easy to follow the instructions. I stirred it well and had no problems applying it with a roller. It dried fast and recoating many times waiting the recommended time between each coat resulted in no problems. I ensured I was using it under the conditions outlined so did not have any issues at all and would be happy to buy it again.

For the past month I have been restoring a lovely old oak cabinet and today was the great day of starting the clear finish. Went to Bunnings and bought a water based matt finish clear coat and opened to find the gluggy product. Stirred and stirred for ages until I thought it was ready then applied to find it dry in an uneven and very white finish.
I'm guessing that I haven't stirred it enough but after throwing my brush down and reading the many negative reviews on this product it appears to have many flaws which other similar products don't have.
The decision now is deciding whether to sand it back and start again after even more stirring or just throw the can and buy another brand which will work without fail.

With the right preparation, Cabot's Bench top clear is a fantastic product. I've just redone my kitchen Bench tops, and they've finished better than when I first bought them. As long as you remember to keep stirring every few minutes, you will be wonderfully surprised at the ease of application and the smooth even coverage. Just make sure they are clear of any old polish etc, and a light sand with 240 between coats and you won't find a better product in my mind.
