  • Solid product!
Low odor high shine. Takes a bunch of thin coats because if you glob it on it doesn't dry properly. This is the only thing I have found so far that gives my creations a store quality look.

  • Great for touchups on my floors
Needed something which would work but would be easy. This did both.

  • Good for a quick varnish
I found this product messy. To squeeze onto a rag is messy, but quick. Or squeeze it into a bowl and paint, which i did but using straight from a tin is better. I’ll keep it for quick jobs and will stick to a tin.

  • Not the best choice
I tried this product hoping that it would be handy for small projects like the pens I make on my lathe. I found it to be easy to apply, but after that, things went downhill fast. It produced a rather rough texture in spite of attempts to smooth it out. It wasn't all that glossy and seemed a bit milky in spite of claims that it would dry clear. After a couple of attempts, I threw the remaining product way. ... show more

  • Great product. Will buy again
I gave this 4 stars because it says high gloss. Its really not. Its a satin gloss at best. I put 6 coats on my first project and got a little shine. Its still a great item and I will buy again. It is easy to use.

  • Not Super Thick but Love the Results!
We were refinishing a bathroom vanity that was converted from a dresser and has a wooden vanity surface with vessel sinks. I wasn't sure how this clear gloss would compare to the previous poly on the original vanity and especially how it would protect and hold up against water spills. After applying 3 coats to the top of the piece and letting it cure for 24 hours, it wasn't as thick as poly or shiny as I had expected - but I must say it does seem to hold up against water spills. Application was super easy with a clean cloth and I used this on top of one of the similar Minwax Water Based Express Color products. Very happy with the overall finish and ease of application for a first-time stain user. Would definitely use again and recommend. ... show more

  • It's Actually Glossy
I wasn't sure what to make of this product in "gloss" form. I especially wasn't sure after squeezing the tube to see the product was white, not clear. In any event, I applied three gloss coats over Minwax Express - Oak and it actually does leave a gloss finish. I like it! It's easy to use and has almost no odor whatsoever. The finish is nice, dries fast and is on my list of approved products for people who have an aversion to painting. ... show more

  • Good stuff!
Easy to use. Does what it claims. MINWAX has great products. (I would recommend storing upside down & unscrewing the top for dispensing (it comes out fast!), rather than "popping it open, to eliminate the product from squirting everywhere. :)
