Compared to traditional multi-product workflows, the one-step stain/poly saves time and cleanup while preserving depth and wood texture.
Pro tips: Stir thoroughly before use and apply in thin, even coats to avoid runs. Allow at least 1 hour before applying a subsequent coat for best results, and clean brushes with soap and water after use. For surfaces with varying porosity, expect the lower end of the coverage range on highly absorbent woods and the higher end on smoother, sealed surfaces.
