Natural Monocoat
I purchased the small natural monocoat product to try it out on some live sawn red cedar floating shelves. The finish was easy to use and applied just like the instructions. Service and delivery were timely. The reason I didn't give this product a 5/5 is the fact it didn't enrich the colors like many other finishes do and I didn't anticipate this. I typcially use a finishing process that require a number of coats (sanding sealer, stain, shellac and varnish). Through this process, the wood takes on a more "wet" look from the initial application of product. The Monocoat didn't do what I anticipated so I ended up going back to my old finishing process. I think the product will still be a great alternative and I would like to continue trying the product for its ease of use and one application method; however, my first attempt with it left me reverting back to old finishing practices. Overall, it was a good test and I want to try it again; it was an expensive test that did not perform quite as I hoped.
