Where can you get it? Apparently Lowes doesn't carry it anymore. I read that PIG bought deft and lowes is no longer allowed to carry it, because of competition? Any help is appreciated.

We have a ACE Hardware that carries it.
-
Any Ace store can order it but you have to take a case 8 cans.
-
You can get it from Amazon, free shipping, if, you order 2 or more cans............ For only about $9.00 a can. *dance*

I have been to 3 different Lowe's here and none of them have it. Even went to Woodcraft, they no longer carry it due to the same reasons as Lowe's. I just looked at Lowe's website, and it's not on there either. It's not on Home Depot's website either.

Isn't it real shinny ?
-
no, it comes in satin, gloss and high gloss. Its called crystal clear but comes in different sheens.

Ace is the place

I use tung oil mostly but I also like the Crystal Clear in satin.
-
I am all tung oil as well, but I was at Ace tonight buying chalk and noticed they have Deft for $7.50 ea.

The Krylon Crystal Clear satin WILL NOT hold up to any sort of moisture. The gloss holds up well but not the satin for some reason. Don't ask me how I know. *fall*

hmmm.... interesting. I have not had this problem and I am not discrediting you in any way. I'll have to watch for this in the future when I use it. Curious... how many coats do you apply? If so, use the semi gloss then and if you want a dull look....buff it slightly with some steel wool or scotch brite cloth and dull it down. I know the semi gloss and the high gloss hold up very well unless exposed to extreme heat. However, Deft has gone to heck on me a lot more often in climate changes and heat then Krylon. I think the Krylon is a more superior product. I wont mention names but a lot fo the big name call makers use the krylon on their box calls. Just my 2 cents.

I spray 3-4 coats depending on the wood. Oily woods get wiped down with lacquer thinner prior. I have used steel wool to dull down the shine, just doesn't compare to a product made to have a satin sheen. The gloss Krylon is a great product, I'm glad the satin works for you.

Back on topic....Yes ACE has Deft except mine for some reason. I have to drive to McKamey's ACE to take his stash. I guess folks don't have much need for Deft on Highbrow Hill. Aint that right Jeff. ;)
