Review: Results unimpressive - Appears to works as it's supposed to but the results aren't Earth-shattering. Basically adds what looks like mildew specs to areas of standing grain. Adds some character but I wouldn't buy it again.
Review: Work great but I’ll guess that depends on the wood - I have use it with Pine but I didn’t get the results I was expecting. I guess it depends on the type of wood

I have use it with Pine but I didn’t get the results I was expecting. I guess it depends on the type of wood

### ⭐⭐ Maybe it will work on open grain woods better. Or at least sell it in smaller cans
*by D***T on August 9, 2017*

For the cost it does not work as advertised. I used it a piece of alder which has little grain so I wanted to highlight or accentuate what was there without darkening the wood. This only left a residue of black specks which wiped off after it dried. Maybe it will work on open grain woods better. Or at least sell it in smaller cans.
