Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a blacksmith and sometimes forge items like copper and steel. I hate clear coating metal, as I love the raw appearance of metal but it is often needed to prevent oxidation. I have used polyurethane, spar varnish, linseed oil, an industrial clear coat for tanks, clear acrylic and Penetrol. For a clear finish Protectaclear is by far my favorite. When applied it has the color of water and a consistency just a Little thicker than water. It applies without brush marks is crystal clear, easy to get into texture and tight spots and is not noticeable when dry. It becomes indistinguishable from raw metal and is also one of the best sealants I have come across. A little goes a long way, but it is a bit pricey so right now I just use it on smaller projects.
