Easy to apply. Awesome finish. Make sure the wood is properly prepared. Poor sanding will lead to a lower quality finish, but that is to be expected. Although a bit less forgiving than a poly or v... See more

uneven coverage
I received and applied the samples and they did not seem to apply evenly. Darker shades and lighter shades on the same piece of wood.

The size was much smaller than expected and I thought fairly expensive for the amount of stain.

I used this on natural alder furniture for a bathroom linen cabinet and 6 foot double sink vanity. Easy to apply, and some great depth to the finish. Maintenance oil brought up just enough sheen. After applying, I noticed some glue stains that I missed. Sanded them out and spot reapplied - you can’t even see where the reapplication was - blended right in.

Pre color
I used rubio monocoat cashmere brown pre color and pure 2c oil on a bar top and woodwork in my living room. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

A great product
A great product. Very easy to use. I just wish it wasn't so expensive but if it last longer than the other stuff I have tried then it's a win.

Love the application and finish. Colors are such a bonus and can be something to dig I to deeper. But will it last??

Pure Hybrid Wood Protector on a new porch floor
Applied pure Hybrid Wood Protector to a new Douglas Fir t&g porch floor, and my wife and I are very pleased with the results. Followed the recommended preparation of a final sanding with 100 grit and wash with Rubio's Exterior Wood Cleaner. I would recommend clearing all standing water after the wash to avoid water spots. Microfiber cloth worked well for doing that.

I ordered a sample size bottle which I wanted for a very small project. I know I’ll never need a large bottle of the stuff. Shipping was quick and I think the price is good. I’ll be ordering another sample, white, to try and soften the color I ordered previously.

I love this product, but.....
I love this product and it was very easy to use and the finished product was exactly what I was looking for. I am not however impressed with the durability! I refinished 2 pieces of English Walnut for charcuterie boards. They were allowed to cure for over a week before use and were extremely fine sanded before finishing. After one use they were heavily stained from berries and cheese and when scrubbed cleaned they are now dull and splotchy. I am now second guessing using this product again on future projects. For the price I expected more.
