Rust-oleum 9161H Varathane Satin Oil-based Polyurethane 0.5 Pt

Product Description

The RUST-OLEUM 9161H Varathane is a satin, oil-based premium polyurethane wood finish formulated for interior applications. It is designed to beautify and protect all types of wood surfaces, providing a durable, clear topcoat that resists scratches, stains, and household chemicals. The fast-dry formula reduces downtime between coats, making it suitable for residential and light commercial interior woodworking and refinishing projects. Carpenters, finish carpenters, flooring contractors, and knowledgeable DIYers apply this product to furniture, cabinets, trim, floors, and millwork. The 0.5-pint container is sized for smaller surface areas or touch-up work.

This polyurethane finish is intended for interior wood surfaces where a satin sheen and oil-based durability are required. Typical applications include wood furniture, interior doors, window trim, built-ins, and hardwood flooring finish coats. The satin finish delivers a low-to-mid sheen that minimizes surface imperfection visibility while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Note: Contractors working in South Coast California air quality management district counties should use item 776-056 in place of this product to remain in compliance with local VOC regulations.
