RUST-OLEUM 989721 Oil-Based Applicator

I had never applied polyurethane with an applicator before, only with a brush. I was concerned with getting a smooth finish. For my first attempt it worked very well. The polyurethane does dry fast so you can't be slow and brush over one area too long. Long smooth strokes are necessary. Even though I did have some areas that skidded a little, I am very satisfied with this applicator.

Used it to spread Varathane ultimate on butcher block table tops. Works much better than a roller and a lot less hassle than spraying.

Works great

Worked great for staining my deck. Did not fall apart and lasted through entire process. We'll buy again.

worked but not as good as real lamb's wool

I used this for floor was, it worked great. It was a latex product so cleaning was easy, and I can use again

First off this is two pieces of wood and two screws. It is extremely cheap and very overpriced at $15. The wood is drilled where you screw in your pole instead of having a metal mating piece (again manufactured in the cheapest way possible). This is very important because by the time I did 4 rooms of stain twice the pole was falling out constantly. This makes the stain uneven and was significantly more work than it should be. In summary this is cheaply made and will fail early making the job much harder than it should be.

Wouldn't do another hardwood floor without one of these. Made the application of polyurethane fast and easy. Would have earned a five star rating, but the wood thread for a handle was badly chewed up during manufacturing. I had about one full revolution of thread to work with, and got by, but this defect should have been found at the factory. Otherwise, it was perfect.

Très bonne qualité.. très facile à visé un bâton dans le trou déjà fait.. vous êtes près pour l’utiliser. J’ai acheté pour étendre la cire et je suis très satisfaite. Je recommande se produit.

Just received my order today. Cannot get a handle to attach, the thread is damaged so I cannot get a broom handle to screw in . It seems that j have received a damaged product. Cannot rate the product as I cannot use it .

Not as good of quality as I hoped. Did the job but didn’t get between the panels at all as it doesn’t absorb much stain.

fell apart during coating, created a mess I will never forget
