  • Excellent Product
Size: 1 Quarts (Pack of 1) Style: Matte Pattern Name: Polycrylic Protective
I have used the Minwax product line for many years. I used the high gloss oil base on my floors and produced excellent results. All of the contractors who came to my home would ask me who did my floors. I didn’t want to tell them I had. If anything was wrong I wanted them to feel they could tell me without offending me. To my relief, they said the floors were stunning! Even the realtor remarked about how beautiful they were! Finishing was a long tedious process: lightly sanding, scrupulously cleaning all traces of debris with tack cloths and rags and carefully applying the poly with a lambswool applicator. Today I have mostly laminate floors that are a dull satin finish. The previous owners were not fastidious people, so there were a few areas where there was evidence of delamination. In order to prevent the problem from getting worse, I decided to coat the floors with Minwax water based poly. I used the matte finish. I coat 3X, and leave 24 hours between each coat to dry. In this particular application, the matte finish looks best since it blends beautifully with the existing finish. I would caution anyone who uses this on their floors: place felt pads on your chairs and no spiked heels. If there is any damage, touch-up is a breeze. ... show more

  • Quick Dry
Size: 1 Gallon (Pack of 1) Style: Satin Pattern Name: Polycrylic Protective
Easy to apply with brush or sponge (I used sponge). Dries very fast. Apply it properly, and assume you wont retouch it as you don't want to go back over it too much as it dries. Milky colored liquid that dries to completely clear. Its also a very runny, watery finish that could be tricky to apply on vertical surfaces so keep that in mind. Work it evenly and follow the instructions and you wont have any issues. No issues with odor of any kind. Can easily be used indoors without worry about killer fumes, and cleanup is a breeze with soap and water. ... show more

  • Best for glitter!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Style: Gloss Pattern Name: Polycrylic Protective
Bought it to use inside of clear glass ornaments with glitter, and it worked like a charm! Tried this other glue that supposedly dried clear, but didn’t. This was easy to use and cleaned up easily. Highly recommend for glitter projects that need clear drying adhesive type products!!

  • Good product if you do it right
Size: 1 Gallon (Pack of 1) Style: Satin Pattern Name: Polycrylic Protective
Very quick drying 👍, Everyone recommends foam brush? I understand that comments need to work with the propensity of failure by those lacking deductive reasoning! To use a cheap brush would give undesirable results, but a high quality soft tip, 3” brush is the best for application. The trick is to put enough on quickly, and never go back over a previously brushed area, even if it’s been only a minute. Slow brush speed! Light pressure (don’t try to bend the bristles past the softened tips). I must say that this is my recommendation for horizontal applications. For vertical you will be mandated to apply many thin coats! If you apply thin coats and sand between, you will need to force yourself to SAND LIGHTLY, else you will be taking two steps forward and one back. After your project is dry. You can sand any little high spots that the hand can feel, with a flat pad sander with 1000 grit paper, without affecting the visual appearance on satin finish. This finish will continue to cure for weeks, so be patient and wait a month before polishing with 2000 grit 3M and a buffer if that’s what your planning to do. If you have the self control to use this product correctly, it will provide a clear, hard and unbelievably smooth finish that is very nice. I use it on cornhole boards and it proved to be the perfect finish for slide. The cornhole association gives instruction for establishing appropriate bag slide by placing a bag at end of finished board, lift the end of board until the bag begins to slide on its own, and measure how high the board was raised to initiate the movement. This finish provided perfect results as the bag began to move at 22”. ... show more

  • Dollar tree foam board paint prep made easy
Size: 1 Quarts (Pack of 1) Style: Satin Pattern Name: Polycrylic Protective
I bought this product to use as a primer & sealer on Dollar Tree Foam board. The foam board paper was delaminating's during prep for painting with other water based products that I tried. I have had great success with good results. This is the water based product that doesn't have strong chemical odour. I have used it as a primer for Water based acrylic paint as well as enamel spray paint. It dries quickly and sands really easy making prep a snap. I have also patched delaminated foamboard using this as an adhesive by applying it both to the foam and paper. Super easy cleanup with water. Nice product I'm very happy with the results. ... show more
