  • Wirks to water proof wood.
Size: 11.5 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Satin
I used this to water proof a chicken coop. It works well and I like that it's easy to apply and has minimal oder. It's a fairly good value for the money. It covers well and it goes on and you can see where you've already covered. There is no color once it dries.

  • Easy to use with great results
Size: 1 Quarts (Pack of 1) Style: Satin
I've used this product for decades, during which time it has only improved and is still easy to use and if applied correctly, offers great results. Durable and beautifying, it's just what your finished woodworking project demands. I highly recommend it.

  • Magic
Size: 1 Quarts (Pack of 1) Style: Satin
I applied for for the first time ever. Used my cheap amazon-bought airless sprayer to apply it to a stained wooden frame made of oak I bought from Menards. Right after application it looked terrible, oversprayed in few places, uneven coverage, it looked like gloss in one spot snd then matte in others. I was so disappointed. Left the door and went inside to have a dinner. But then about hour later I went back to check my “mistake” and was shocked to find the frame/door to be perfectly covered, even, satin and nice and smooth to touch. I can explain it only by magic. After it dries all these “errors” are gone. I love it. No other words! ... show more

  • Great top coat
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Gloss
This product did exactly what I needed it to. I was painting furniture and the paint seem to be rough. The top coat smooth it out and gave it a glossy finish. It covered with a generous coat. Once it dried it was water resistant. The lid doesn't completely seal so storage may be tricky. But all around it was a great product with minimum messiness. ... show more

  • Professional Finish and Durable Protection!
Size: 1 Quarts (Pack of 1) Style: Satin
I’m incredibly impressed with the Clear Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish in Satin! It gave my cabinets a beautiful, professional-looking finish that really enhanced their appearance. The satin sheen is just the right amount of gloss, giving them a smooth, elegant look. Not only does it make the cabinets look fantastic, but it also provides a hard, durable protective finish that can stand up to the abuse I put on them daily. It resists scratches and wear, keeping everything looking great. Easy to apply and dries quickly too. Highly recommend this product for anyone looking to protect and elevate their wood projects! ... show more

  • Really wonderful product
Size: 1 Quarts (Pack of 1) Style: Satin
The reason I love this product is because I needed to put a protective coating on an outside swing. It’s hard to find a water based product that will actually bead on the surface when wet. I actually had one paint person say there were no products that were water based that would accomplish that. I relied on the Minwax name and reputation and got exactly what I needed! A water based clear coat that will bead up when wet! Happy with the results!!! ... show more
