Review: Fantastic every time - I have been using Deft Clear Finish for many years, refinishing dining tables, sewing machine cabinets, a dentist cabinet, and the list goes on. However this was my first time to finish brand new custom made kitchen and bathroom cabinets. I had never even heard of the Sanding Sealer so I did my research. Many other brands were highly recommended; however I wanted to stick with Deft. Upon visiting several small local hardware stores and a few national brand paint stores who sold Deft products, I was told that they did not carry the version for brush application. They explained that commercial contractors found that it dries too fast so they only carry the spray on version. Along with the fact that I could find reviews of the Deft Sanding Sealer only on desertcart and absolutely no blogs on the web for its use, I ordered my first can with trepidation. Wow! This is an amazing product. I lightly sanded and stained my poplar cabinets before applying the Sanding Seal. And, Yes, it does dry quickly but I find that to be a plus. It was SO easy to apply, going on quickly and smoothly. And I could proceed with the application of lacquer within a few hours. I used only about 1-1/2 quarts total for a total of 12 feet of upper and lower cabinets (floor to ceiling) installed in our mother-in-laws addition. I highly recommend this product to anyone for an absolutely glass-like smooth finish. My new cabinets look every bit a great as those done professionally in the rest of my house. Absolutely beautiful. I will stick with Deft and wish some local retail stores would sell the Sanding sealer. Review: Good for wood preparation - Good product.

Try both and determine which is better for you. **Q: does this leave a flat finish?** A: No. It's more a satin finish. I often left it as my top coat. **Q: Can it be the top coat? I'm looking for something uber cheap to help stop the paint from sticking to things after it dries.** A: 20 years ago, I came into a new development to do some punch-list items. I was on salary working for the "builder", a non-profit group. We ran short on money. ANYWAY, I had some bifold doors to stain and seal. The painter told me what he used, and it was Glidden stain and 3 coats of Glidden sanding sealer, sanded between coats. I had never used sanding sealer before. It's like a watered-down varnish which dries quickly. the project turned out GREAT. The doors looked like they were done in a spray booth. There was no final finish, just 3 coats of sanding sealer. It was oil-based sanding sealer. I see now that there are a lot of water-based sanding sealers. I would opt for the oil-based producl. **Q: Can the sanding sealer be thinner to allow faster drying time before sanding? I wood turn to allow faster** A: This sealer dries very fast. I am comfortable sanding after 1-2 hours. I don't know if it can be thinned. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic every time *by W***E on September 29, 2018* I have been using Deft Clear Finish for many years, refinishing dining tables, sewing machine cabinets, a dentist cabinet, and the list goes on.
