Review: The Secret to Perfect Book Preservation and High-Gloss Finishes - I’ve been using Varathane Crystal-Clear Ultimate Polyurethane for my projects, and it is easily one of the best finishes I’ve found—though I use it a bit differently than most! I actually use this to gloss my books, and the results are fantastic. It creates a professional-grade, crystal-clear shine that completely elevates the look of the cover. The quality and durability are truly impressive. It forms a real, protective, and shiny layer that doesn't yellow over time, which is essential for keeping books looking sharp. One of the standout features is its thickness and leveling—the formula has the perfect consistency to go on smoothly without creating streaks or globs, and it self-levels beautifully for a glass-like, even finish. I’m also a huge fan of the fast dry time; it’s perfect for projects where you don’t want to wait around all day for a tacky finish to set. It does a great job of preserving the look while significantly enhancing the style with that high-end, glossy aesthetic. If you're looking for a product that is reliable, easy to apply, and offers a tough, beautiful finish, this is an excellent choice. Review: Excellent product. - Worked beautifully on my project.

I take a paper towel, dab it into the can, and carefully rub it onto the wood. I just did this with some repurposed cigar boxes the other night - came out beautiful. The finish seams to be a little more satiny than when you brush on the Varathane - the first project I did, I brushed on many coats and the pieces were a bit shiny. I prefer the wiped finish, it looks great on both of the Cigar Box Guitars that I've built and, as I mentioned, the two cigar boxes I just redid. You want to avoid putting on very thick layers, as well as leaving any gobs or lines of the finish, just like with anything else you're putting on wood. General rule of thumb with this stuff - if it looks white or creamy on the wood, it's too thick. Be careful sanding between layers, since the wiped on finish, for me, is often thinner than brushed on finish. Side note - The guitars only have Varathane on the neck. The wood for the necks came from an old dining room table, it's heavy and dense. The wood was stripped of finish, painted with a variety of colors and chemicals to reach a certain patina, and then I wiped on the Varathane. Came out beautiful, and the finish is holding up really well. **Q: I just started working with polymer clay. Should I get the gloss or the semi-gloss? Is there a difference between the finished product?** A: My wife works with polymer clay. Gloss gives depth and extra dimension to the projects. It also enhances metallic clays, such as gold and silver. She would never use satin or semi-gloss over metallics, because all they do is to dull the shine. Satin and semi-gloss are great for projects where a rough, unpolished, or "natural" look is desired, such as Steampunk projects. Hope this helps and best of luck with your creations! **Q: Is this appropriate for a kitchen table? And will it be cloudy when dry?** A: Not cloudy at all. Cloudy when it goes on but crystal clear dry. We used it on the cabinets and haven't had any issues with it chipping after being bumped or knocked. **Q: How hard is it when dry?** A: I would say comparable to a regular poly, but it doesn't seem to crack or flake if you dent wood with a thick coating.I've coated kid's toys and guitar necks in this. It holds up nicely.EDIT - Took a trip to Graceland with the nine-year-old. I made a Cigar Box Guitar for him and gave it to him in Graceland. At one point he wanted to do something special, so we scratched the back of the guitar's neck on the wall outside Graceland. The finish didn't tear or flake off, it just dented in like the rest of the wood. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Secret to Perfect Book Preservation and High-Gloss Finishes *by N***E on 6 March 2026* I’ve been using Varathane Crystal-Clear Ultimate Polyurethane for my projects, and it is easily one of the best finishes I’ve found—though I use it a bit differently than most!
