Clear Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish Satin for Woodworking

Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish is the ideal choice for keeping interior wood projects looking beautiful. This crystal clear protective finish not only protects but also enhances the natural beauty of woodwork, furniture, and more. The clear top coat shields the wood surface from scratches, scuffs, and blemishes, preserving its pristine condition.

One of the key features of this protective finish is its ability to work seamlessly with a variety of wood species, including light woods like maple, ash, and birch. It can be applied directly to bare wood or over Minwax Oil-Based and Water-Based Stains, ensuring a consistent and durable finish.

The ultra-fast-drying formula of Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish allows for quick recoats after just 2 hours, making the application process efficient and convenient. Additionally, the clear wood finish can be easily cleaned up with just soap and water, simplifying the maintenance process.

Not only does this protective wood top coat safeguard the natural beauty of the wood, but it also offers an attractive, classic sheen that adds a modern and subtle look. The non-yellowing, non-ambering, and low-odor properties of the finish make it an excellent choice for a wide range of interior wood projects.

It's important to note that Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish may appear milky upon opening, but it applies and dries to a crystal clear protective finish that lasts.

To ensure the best results, follow these application steps:

1. Ensure the surface is dry, free of wax, grease, polish, or any foreign matter, and old finishes are in good condition.
2. Sand the surface to a smooth, uniform finish, and remove any dust with a damp cloth.
3. If desired, apply a Minwax Water Based Wood Stain or Minwax Wood Finish stain to the bare wood surfaces, following the label directions. Wait at least 24 hours before applying the Polycrylic Finish.
4. Stir the Polycrylic Finish well before and during use, but do not shake.
5. Apply a thin coat of the Polycrylic Finish with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush, following the grain direction.
6. Allow the finish to dry for at least 2 hours, then lightly sand with fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats.
7. Apply a second coat, repeating step 6 before each additional coat. Three coats are recommended for best results.
8. After the final coat, allow 3 hours before light handling and 24 hours before normal use.
