Tough Coat is an incredibly strong, water-based sealant. This is a very popular choice for people that want to seal kitchen cabinets, outdoor furniture, and table tops to make them water-resistant, scratch-resistant, and better able to stand up to heavy wear and tear! As our strongest sealant, it offers maximum protection that will preserve your furniture’s surfaces for years to come.
How does Tough Coat differ from Clear Coat?
Tough Coat offers the highest durability and requires only two coats for maximum protection, whereas Clear Coat will require up to four coats. Tough Coat is VOC-compliant and best suited for kitchen table tops, kitchen cabinets and outdoor furniture. Clear Coat, on the other hand is 100% VOC-free and requires less of a learning curve to use. If you are not experienced with applying clear finishes, we suggest Clear Coat because it is more user-friendly than Tough Coat.
If you’d like to use a 100% natural product with light protection, try using Wax or Hemp Oil.
Tough Coat Product Features:
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is very important to make sure that you let your last coat of paint dry for at least 24 hours before proceeding with Tough Coat, otherwise you may end up with a streaky finish. If your work space is cold or humid, you’ll want to wait at least 72 hours so your paint coats have plenty of time to dry all the way through.
PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT apply Wax, Hemp Oil, or other oil-based products before applying Tough Coat.

The top coat was hard to use as part of my tables were black and it left "milky" looking spots on some of the black. I repainted the black and coated again however still a few "milky" spots. I gave a 4 star as the top coat seems very durable.
Hi Susan, I'm sorry to hear that the Tough Coat changed the color like that. We refer to that as "blushing". It usually happens when either the paint hasn't had quite enough time to dry before the Tough Coat was applied, or it was overworked a bit as you were applying it. Regardless, your tables turned out amazing! Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us.
Tough coat was just perfect to seal my dresser. Easy to apply and dries supper fast. It gives a little shine to the finish which i love.
Practice first! I purchased from a stockist and they warned me the product was not for beginners but I paint without painters tape regularly and found the rest of the paint so superior, I thought them over cautious. I should have listened. I will be sanding down the drips and bubbles and practicing before I move on to the rest of my cabinets. If you are an expert, you will probably be fine but others beware.

Hi Ashley, I'm very sorry you weren't happy with the Tough Coat! It does take a little bit of practice, especially for beginners, I agree. Can you tell me what you were using to apply the Tough Coat? We recommend using a painting sponge as it makes it much easier to apply nice thin coats that won't cause drips.
I love how easy these products are to use! Customer service is personal and genuine. I will continue to shop Country Chic!
