TriCoPolymer VOC Free Non Toxic Lumber-Seal Clear Satin Wood Sealer, 1 Gallon

Have a large wooden play gym. In the past I used a famous oil based water treatment that calls for two days of no rain and 2 days of above 50 degrees. Well I got lazy and now it's mid November here in the Northeast and well below 50 at night.. Called agra-life (the manufacturer) and they say product can be applied at 45 degrees and up (can says 50 BTW). Took a chance on a 55 degree after noon. Dried in an hour or less. Really. Did half the gym with a brush and the house part with a Graco Electric spray gun. Rain two days later and it's beading up like on car wax! The stuff has the consistency and look of skim milk. Very thin and I would have been better off with a garden sprayer than what I used. The Graco is maybe to much horsepower and it made a lot of mist which wasted product. A gallon just managed to do one coat on the set. There is little to indicate the coating is there. A very slight satin finish that actually shows up more in dim light than in broad daylight. Time will tell on the durability. Clean up insanely easy. Just plain water cleaned the brush and spray gun. Like the environmental safety because my two dogs were running around me while I worked. I'll use it again just for the ease and safety. If I get more than a year, it's worth the money. Any longer is gravy. I don't really believe the label of a five year warranty but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'd be ecstatic with two years.

We needed to stain two Adirondack chair with Ottomans. This product is almost mistake proof! Super easy to use! We bought this because it's non-toxic and no VOCs. If I'm going to be sitting on it, I don't want to be sitting (and sweating) on a toxic mess of chemicals. We have dogs and I wanted to make sure that IF they decided to chew on the chairs, it would not poison them. It goes on super easy. It's like painting with soapy water. It dries super quickly (less than an hour) and the 2nd coat went on easy as well. Didn't have to wait for one coat to dry completely before putting on the second. The only issue we had is that you have to keep an eye out for drips through to the other side of the wood. If you keep checking back and painting the drips out, you'll have no problems. Another cool thing is that it is water clean up. Satin finish is gorgeous too. A little goes a long way.

On the same day that this sealer arrived I applied it to some wood siding. I'm very happy with the non-toxic sealer itself and its eco-friendly performance. My odd problem derived from the container - while moving it a few feet the wire handle simply came out one of of its plastic brackets, causing me to spill about a third of the sealer liquid.

Added this to our redwood fence when it was built new. The wood on our side of the fence looks much more like it's still new compared to our neighbors.Used a cheap, throw-away 1 gallon yard sprayer to apply. Something to note, this applies as a milky, sticky film, but dries clear. Also, if it gets on metal, gate hardware for example, it's far easier to remove if done right away.Will probably reapply after 4 or 5 years.

I only used this on one eucalyptus wood chair to see how well it works. The product was tacky for about a week. It also turned white when it rained on the chair. It went back to clear once it dried again. Not sure if I’m going to use it on the rest of my chairs and the table or not.
