  • Varathane Triple Thick One Coat Clear Finish allows you to finish a stain project with only 1 coat instead of 3

  • Advanced self-levelling formula which creates a smooth clear finish

  • Ultimate durability and protection in just one coat

Not excited

4 months ago
My job was a bit problematic. So I bought this hoping to do just one application instead of the apply, wait 2-3 hours, apply second coat, wait another 2-3 for the third, etc. It is a fair bit thicker than the regular Varathane so it did not spread as easily. The bad part is that after drying, the brush strokes are readily apparent which does not happen with the regular thin stuff. Hopefully no one else will inspect the job.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Thank you for reaching out to share what happened with us. Our Varathane Triple Thick Clear Finish is 3X thicker than a traditional polyurethane. To achieve the best finish, we recommend applying the clear finish in the direction of the wood grain in one, thick smooth uniform coat. Let’s see how we can help. Please give us a call at 1-800-387-3625 as we would love to make things right if you give us another chance. – Rust-Oleum Product Support 1 rustoleum-ca

Q: Is this polyurethane or polyurethane-based? When researching this product, in the USA, it seems to be called Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane, but here in Canada, it is just called, Triple Thick "One Coat Clear Finish". Why the difference in naming?

  • A: Triple Thick is only meant to be applied to furniture and small projects. It is not meant to go on floors as it is not strong enough for that.

Q: Can this be used over painted wood as well? Looking for a glossy top coat to apply to a black painted dresser to stop it from scratching so easily.

1 Answer
  • A: Varathane Triple thick is intended as a top coat for bare, or stained wood. It is not our first choice for a paint finish. However, you could consider the Painter's Touch 2X clear as a good alternative for painted wood.
