Rated 5 out of 5 stars

My purchase came quickly, well packaged. The paints are great with one small comment - the white seems to be a tad thin so I had to do several coats for it to stand out enough.

Delivery in about an 48 hours, well packed, no additional delivery fee. I could have ordered from Amazon at the same price but I thought give the Amazon costs to Polyvine.

Great product and service

In the last few years I have tried the pale gold, the light bright gold and the antique gold paint. They are great quality and also the service from Polyvine is excellent with good advice and helpful customer service team. The despatch and delivery was speedy.

my order came very quickly and after stripping the paint off to reveal beautiful oak. Both products created a wonderful natural effect on my front door - much more in keeping with an old cottage.

Did not perform like they claim

I bought the polyvine heavy duty wood varnish to use on a wooden table Top about 4 ftx 5 ft This product claimed it was heat resistant, resisted scratches and dried to a hard finish and cost 3x the price of other products anyways I followed the directions meticulously spent $20 on a special paintbrush to apply it with and the first coat went on fine. However, I did notice the drying time was much faster than the 30 minutes to an hour. They advertise. I lightly sanded it wiped it down. Really good. Applied the second coat and when I got to the end of the table and look back at where I started I noticed the product was separating like it wasn't sticking so I tried to go back over it which was a mistake because it had already started to dry And it only been no more than 7 or 8 minutes. Maybe 10 at the most so I let it finish drying lightly sanded it again trying to remove any brush marks cleaned it really good again. Attempted to put the third coat on and it began to separate again at this point I was getting really frustrated so I stopped sent an email to polyvine about the product not adhering and thinking I was going to have to start all over so I just finally put a real heavy thick coat on it and finally was able to somewhat salvage the project. I waited a day and a half which was well past the 16-hour cure time They advertised I put the table back together, put it back in my kitchen and the first thing I laid on the table top peeled the polyvine finish back I am so frustrated with this product At this point I just want a refund I should have known a water-based product could never perform like they claim

Good morning Bonnie, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. As you are already in conversations with our customer service team about the issues you have experienced, we thought it was useful to state that we are in the process of helping you. Your last email exchange with us was yesterday, and at present, this is an unresolved query while we get to the bottom of what has happened. From what we know so far, it sounds like an adhesion issue due to using a water based varnish over a solvent based mineral spirit to prepare the surface. Please continue your email conversations with our customer service team so you can understand why this issue has taken place. Kind regards, the Polyvine team.

Hickson wood stain by Polyvine

I have been using Hickson wood stain for over twenty five years and consider it to be a very good product that does what it says on the tin. Now that I can buy it direct from Polyvine at a reasonable price and delivered promptly, that is even better.

Small sizes

The local paint company (who stocked Polyvine products) didn't stock the products and small sizes that I wanted, so I orded on line and received the right products and sizes within a couple of days. Very pleased.
