    We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. If you are finding that the Varathane Professional Oil-Based Clear Finish is taking a long time to cure, environmental factors such as low temperatures can impact the coating's ability to dry sufficiently. Let's see if we can help! Please consider having the can ready and call us at 1-800-387-3625, and we'll be happy to talk further with you. We would like the opportunity to try to make things right. – Rust-Oleum Product Support 1 rustoleum-ca

    Q: I have one coat if varathane satin for floors water base on a white oak table back  Can I change over to oil base  Thanks

    2 Answers
    • A: I have not tried what you suggest. But I would not recommend mixing the oil base and water base products. If you really want to do this, I would suggest testing the combination on a sample size piece to see if you like the result.

    Q: Are you sure this product is suitable for use on floors? The manufacturer does not say it is on their web site, they recommend other products for floors.

    • A: Hi John709, The good news is you can use our Varathane Professional Clear Finish for small areas on the floor. However, if you have a large area to cover, the alternative is our Varathane ProFinisher Clear Finish Oil-Based or our Varathane Diamond Wood Finish Floor Oil-Based.

    Q: Is this suitable for counter tops? Is this suitable for finishing wood countertops?

    1 Answer
    • A: Varathane Professional is an excellent way to finish any interior wood surface. Though non-toxic once dry, Varathane Professional is not designed for application to surfaces that will come into direct contact with food. A cutting board would be recommended for preparing food items on a surface coated with Varathane Professional.
