That is the stuff. I tested it on a small piece of scrap plywood just to see. It dries quite glossy. What I like about it is it cures and then there is no odor (smells bad while curing.) It goes on easy and dries very tough.

I just made a wood housing for a temperature controller that I finished in oil-based polyurethane. Comparing the Repti-Shield coated scrap (1 coat) against the box with 3 coats of polyurethane, the polyurethane sure looks nice, but the Repti-Shield is a tougher coating. Using my fingernail to dent the wood, the Repti-Shield is stronger with 1 coat. The poly still smells after a week; the Repti-Shield is odor free.

Price is high for Repti-Shield.
