Q:Is that a total of 2 gallons? Can I spray this on?

by|Mar 1, 2020

2 Answers

Answer This Question

A: Great question, Bob. This listing of Rust-Oleum Varathane Oil-based Spar Urethane is sold in case quantity, which means you will receive two 1-gallon containers for the price shown. This product can be applied using a good quality, natural bristle brush or applicator. We don't recommend spraying it on as it will reduce the surface protection and performance of the coating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 5

by|Mar 3, 2020

A: Each tin contains 1 gallon. I think I bought a package that contained 2 individual tins each 1 gallon. This is a little thicker than olive oil. I don't know if spraying would work. Clean up woulld be very difficult. You would need a solvent and it might clog your equipment. We used it on an interior floor and used a paint roller. Hope that helps

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. Please keep in mind, your weather conditions and thickness of the coating can affect the drying times of Rust-Oleum Varathane Oil-Based Spar Urethane. Higher humidity or poor air circulation will slow the listed dry times.

Would have gave a 5 star, great product. But received one can that was sooo damaged it was mission impossible too open. When I did get it opened it was impossible too reseal an wasted half my gallon. Could have been shipping company fault. But non the less, the stuff is expensive an half of a gallon got wasted.

That is odd. All of our products are inspected before they are packaged and shipped. It is important to us to know more so we can ensure this does not happen again with our products. Please call us at 800-901-0411 to discuss further.

Good Product - Thick and Slow

Varathane's Clear Gloss Spar Urethane provides a tough, UV-resistant finish that looks about like other SPAR finishes, but with a golden color tint. Out of the can, the urethane is thick and looks a dingy tan, but once it dries it provides a nice warm tone to the wood (see photos). Being so thick, it requires reasonable care and a good brush during application, and I found I couldn't get a completely flat or blemish-free finish, but I didn't expect to with an exterior-grade Spar urethane. The product did not dry nearly as fast as the advertised “dries to the tough in as little as two hours”, so I waited over 24 hours between coats, lightly sanding in between each. It took the recommended 3 coats to get a uniformly glossy finish, and although the can indicates coverage up to 150 sq-ft/qt, I suspect it won't get that much at 3 coats. The finish seems tough, but it will take a few months in the Texas sun to verify the quality of the UV- protectors. So far it's a good product and a fair value, but I'm not so sure of the “fast drying” claim.

Not like old Spar Varnish

After applying to my replacement knotty pine siding on my house I read the label, okay, my fault, guys don't follow instructions well. The label says not intended for siding or something like that. Ooops. Additionally, after reading up on mildew information on the web, it says some varnish formulations today actually encourage mildew growth. Nice. Fortunately from my years of former professional painting I did mix in an after market mildewcide prior to application. We'll see how that works. Probably negated any implied suitability for purpose but I know that doing nothing didn't work either. So from the homeowners perspective, the EPA has taken materials out of products that actually perform, so now the result is siding that should have lasted 30 years or more looks bad in 5 years. Thus necessitating the replacement. I'd say this is a little counterproductive from an environmental standpoint. The sad thing is, there aren't many options today and no common sense. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there either. Many products that used to work with older formulations, like resilient flooring adhesives, now often fail immediately or soon after installation so that certainly helped the environment didn't it? (Ask any flooring contractor) So the review/rating I have shared reflects more on what industry has been forced to do, rather than the product itself in its present formulation. It applied fine and leveled out well. Those are things that are somewhat important but longevity is what really matters and that I won't know for years. Given no other real options, I would say it is the best out there for the price. How's that for a treatise..........
