Goes on like water..very thin in viscosity. Light coat. Dries clear and may give the cork a slightly deeper richer look. Doesn't look unnatural at all.

No odor detected by my "sniffer". Cork feels natural in my hands also. Some say it feels slicker, I do not sense that myself.

Makes keeping the cork looking new very easy.

I've built a few rods with the flocked shrink tube and they look and feel very nice.
