BEHR Stain & Poly Review | Does this stuff actually work?

What happens here

After applying the initial product, 'lay out' or 'tip off' the stain and poly by making long, even strokes in one direction. This process helps to eliminate visible brush strokes and work out any air bubbles in the finish. It's crucial to check the edges for any runs. If runs are present, they can be scraped off with a 5-in-1 tool and then lightly sanded.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, uniform, and run-free first coat
