Used the water based polyurethane matt clear finish on our 45 year old tassie oak floors, came up amazing enhances and brings out the beauty in the wood.
No problems, easy to use, 3 coats in one day, no odour, 5 stars!!!
Not sure how you could go wrong, too easy!

I used cfp water based on my Baltic pine kitchen floor just after ripping out my old kitchen in preparation for the new kitchen. All was ok until my wife two weeks later wiped it down with a damp wiper after the tradeshad finished their work. As she was doing it the surface went white and hasn't cleared up. Now I don't know if I should rip my kitchen out again to sand back my floors again or try a patch up job which will look no better than it does now! So dissapointed after I read the reviews previously and just figured the other reviewers must have done something wrong. Now my kitchen is ruined!

5 years ago we used the water based CFP in our lounge area and have never regretted it. Still doesn't need another coat even though some slight marks due to normal wear and tear. The low sheen finish is very forgiving as small normal wear marks are very hard to see.
So impressed I have just sanded and sealed another room with the water based CFP.
But please follow the instructions and ensure that all dust is removed from floor before each coat, you will be rewarded with an impressive floor for many years.

Cabot’s CFP Water Based Wood Care is Marvellous – Fantastic - Great product. Easy to work with, highly recommended. I did a hallway and three bedrooms with new cypress pine flooring and achieved the look I wanted bringing out the wood structure and low sheen. I applied three thin coats of the product making sure the floor was absolutely clean from dirt and dust after sanding. Adhering to temperature and instructions on the tin. I was First apprehensive buying the product especially after reading some of the unwarranted negative comments. A 9 year old could do the job. If doesn’t work for you, then you didn’t follow the simple instructions.

Spent a whole weekend sanding my floor and then applied three coats of this stuff. Looked great for three days and then all of a sudden white milky patches started appearing in the joins. Tried your hairdryer trick - nothing. I wish I had read these reviews. Waste of money. Wasted money on tins of this and hiring the sander. Not happy at all.

It went on very easily after preparing the floor as described in the instructions. Very easy to apply. Very low odour. Easy clean up. I am extremely happy with the result. I am not an expert with floor finishes but I have a fair bit of experience with timber finishes for furniture, wood turning and ornamental works. I strongly suggest following the instructions and don't skimp on the cleaning. Have patience.

I nearly didn't use it after reading all these negative reviews. Maybe the people giving this finish a negative review need to follow the instructions on the tin.
It hasn't darkened the wood at all which was the main requirement, as it shows off the wood and different colours and patterns in the wood to best effect. Just what I was looking for for our parquet floor.

In the future, If I do find it scratches easily, I'll buy some hardener and give it another coat. but I don't see why it should be any worse than the polyurethane that we used thirty years ago, which was covered in dents and scratches and yellowed with age. The effect this finish gives to the floor is worth the effort of upkeep in my opinion.

Very happy applied on top of ultra deck intetgrain come out perfit after 2 coats and this is my first time using CFP gloss water base and intergrain together what a team and fantastic finish will highiy recommend to follow all the instructions of both brands if someone else does the same, intergrain natural ultra deck and Cabot's cfp

Impossible to apply without brush/ applicator marks. I called the 1800 011 006 number for help, only advice they had for me was use a wider applicator and brush. So zero help there. Yes, I thinned it, yes I tried applying it in various coat thicknesses and yes I tried applying it early in the cool of the day. No smooth finish, I strongly recommend not using it.

I used this product on some old pine internal stairs. We wanted to dress them up so stained them with water based liming stain, then gave them several coats of the gloss CFP. This was done over a year ago and has worn very well, and still looks as good as when it was first done. We have also used this product on a raised pine kids bed frame that was painted and it has protected this piece very well too. Will use again.

The results were very disappointing, we followed the instructions to the letter but our floor looked like crap after a few days of general wear. Covered in scratches from day to day living. Would not recommend this product. Wasted $750 and 2 weeks, not to mention the cost of kennelling her dogs while we did the floor.

Ruined. 4 weekends I slaved, sanding and restoring my 50 year old cypress pine floor. I chose all water based materials and all from Cabots. One coat of walnut stain, beautiful. Easy to apply, consistent result, very happy. One coat of CFP made it look like crap-on-a-stick. I was elated. The second looks like crap-on-a-stick. It is cloudy, streaky, and I'm devastated. It was easy to apply, and went down consistently, but it has left the floor looking like cheap recycled laminate.
@cabots: don't respond, you have nothing to say to me. You've ruined my backbreaking work. I have to start again, using Feast Watson products.

Disappointed with this product. White cloudy patches formed on our floorboards. Used the walnut stain as the base. Had to resand and apply stain to get rid of patches. Will be using a different product to gloss them. Very disappointed at the time and money spent. Wish I read reviews before purchasing this tin.

Followed instructions to the T
Did everything the Tin suggested
Left it at least 72 hours
It scratches really badly!!!
Right back to the bare wood!
So disappointed!!!
Will be contacting Cabots directly aswell to complain!!!!
My floor was expensive so I got this product as recommended for its hard finish?!!!!

We had an old house re stumped the floors were patched with Virgin floorboards from the bedroom.So some of the boards had an old two pack coating.We know because it was the devil to remove.The water based CFP went on very easily alight hand sand before the last coat and it has come up brilliantly considering the age of the Baltic Pine and the couple of duffers using it.

Bought this at bunnings and chose it over the oil-based version as it doesn't require sanding. I applied two coats and so far so good. The product has dried well after 12 hours and the coating has adhered well to the unsanded cork surface. Would use product again, if just to strengthen the surface. It looks milky coming out from the can but after drying, it's all clear. For what I paid for, happy with the end result.

Edit: After almost 3 years now, I must say that the product hasn't aged well. In areas with heavy traffic, you could clearly see that the coating has worn off. Also scratches quite easily. Only use for a low traffic area.
economical solution to protecting the floor, easy to use.
deep marks or scratches would still be visible
