Fast delivery. Good price. Free shipping. The product is wonderful on timber and looks great. Easy to apply.

Minwax Water Based Helmsman Spar Urethane is a practical and versatile wood finish. It’s not the “ultra-hard, maintenance-free forever” sort of finish, but for many indoor and outdoor wood surfaces, it’s an excellent balance of weather resistance, flexibility, ease of use, and clarity. I’ve utilized this on multiple wood projects and extremely satisfied with the final look.

Used it for deck railing installation last summer. Don't know yet, how well it will hold up over the winter.

This product is designed for treating wood for outdoors. It does this well and appears to protect both bare and painted surfaces from sunlight (UV) and rain. It does not get hot or cold where I live, but it is sunny and rains too. It is important to protect wood from rain, this can do that. Rain can become problematic when it gets into the end-grain of wood. This product is essentially clear plastic (albeit very thin) and can protect wood. It is VERY good on interesting wood that you want to retain it's look. Many woods will turn grey over time. I'd suggest testing before committing. A BIG win here is that this product is water based, it will dry quickly with no smell and clean up with water. You can apply with a foam brush. Two or three coats is usually sufficient.

I have used this on many wood items that I built for outdoor use. It is easy to apply, dries clear. The quart size it good for most projects and a decent value for the money.
