Title: Zar?
Post by: Al W on October 06, 2012, 06:21:16 pm

Good Day Folks,

Dropped by a local paint store today, one I have never been to, and saw a line of products by a company called Zar.

I would like to hear what the members here have to say about this product.  I did not find their website to be overly informational.   www.zar.com

Looking forward to reading some opinions

Al

Sorry Al, I have never used any Zar products, but I have heard they are a quality product.

Off topic but speaking of stain.  I tried a new one. The sample picture looked very nice. Thank goodness I tried it on a scrap piece before I used it on a good piece.

It looked like cow poop just after the cow was turned out on fresh grass.

MinWax Driftwood.

I tried Zar clear finish only once and it took forever to dry. I went back to Minwax.
