Has anyone used this brand of toner? I was given some by a friend who restored antique furniture but gave it up. I found it to be far less runny than Mohawk and seemed to cover more evenly with fewer mist coats. Not that I'm giving up on Mohawk but I gotta admit I was impressed with this brand!

This looks like an alternative to Mowhawk Ultra Classic Toner. I don’t think it would be good for those bases, grille bars, and edges like Mowhawk Tone Finish Toner.

Certainly worth a try, plenty of colors available.
