Wal Mart sells the Minwax product. I have used it some, and it seems to flow/cover grain well. It took fewer coats to bring my Silvertone 1856 to acceptable smoothness. That includes the requisite sanding between (every 3) coats. The minwax product also has an adjustable nozzle.

HOWEVER, I still use mostly Mowhawk products, including clears. The Mohawk products do not have an adjustable nozzle, but I recently got a shipment of clear satin in that had an improved nozzle compared to what they had been using.
