I was looking for a clear sealant to put over the chalk paint on my kitchen table and this was perfect.! I tried the wax for chalk paint, but it was streaky and milky (over black paint). This product went on smoothly and evenly, and dried to a perfect hard finish with a slight sheen. It has a bit of a smell when it's wet, but is gone when it's dry. I put a fan on it to speed the process. Overall, I have no complaints. It was exactly what I wanted.
