I used to swear by pre-finished plywood for everything but a $40 can of conversion varnish changed my mind on a kitchen job last month
The client wanted a custom color match and after fighting with touch-ups on pre-finish for 2 days I finally sprayed the conversion varnish and it dried so hard and even I couldn't believe I avoided it for years, has anyone else had that moment where a finishing product totally flipped your process?

@ray648 I feel you on that, but I think it's less about the varnish itself and more about how it forces you to slow down and actually get the prep right. It's like when you switch from a cheap hand plane to a decent one - suddenly you realize the tool wasn't the problem, it was you rushing through everything. There's a whole pattern in this trade where we think a product will be a shortcut, but really it's just revealing the corners we were cutting without knowing it.
