“Worked well initially, but then it took longer and longer to dry. Then it quit getting shiny. Now it's just a mess to use. And I've only used about 15% of the bottle. If the shelf life is this short, then offer this product in a much smaller bottle. Too expensive to buy it like this again. I would not recommend. There are plenty of other products out there that work just as well and don't have the issues.”

“I am very disappointed. For some reason I thought it would be very good. It is not a high build-up or very glossy finish. I find Hut the best so far. Next I'll make my own with shellac, denatured alcohol and boiled linseed oil, 1/3 of each. It's popular and the generally accepted high finish friction polish.”

“This is the second â€œfriction finishâ€œ Iâ€™ve tried, the other was Hut Crystal Coat. All I can say is, run away. I havenâ€™t thrown it in the garbage yet, in the hope that I might find some use for it, but I havenâ€™t found one yet. In this most recent attempt I was trying to get a durable, glossy finish on a conductorâ€™s baton I had turned. Maybe Ebony just doesnâ€™t like friction finish(?) It comes out initially very glossy, but it doesnâ€™t last, does poorly on end grain and doesnâ€™t take handling well. Then I stripped it bare again and reached for my Birchwood Casey Tru Oil, and in a few hours I had a glass-hard finish that was almost too glossy; I actually had to knock it down a little with 0000 steel wool followed by buffing compound to get it â€œsatinedâ€”
