What Customers Are Saying

The product has mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to apply with a fast drying time, resulting in a nice sheen and new-looking floors. However, some reported issues like bubbling, peeling, and uneven sheen. The strong fumes and specific temperature requirements also made it difficult to use for some. Overall, the product may work well when used properly, but customers should be prepared for potential challenges and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Make sure you get enough for more than one coat.

Would Recommend

Used it to refinish out 100 year old floors. Brings the shine and deep color right back without stain.

Use high quality applicators to avoid air bubbles

Used on new home for red oak , worked excellent and a power odor comparatively.

Easy to apply my floors took many coats for them to look shiny. I bought 3 cans.

I have used the poly for floors on several table tops My customers love its durability and shine. I know its for floors but if you want a top coat that will stand the test of time and give your hardwood table a shine that beats all Try it I have 2 boys and they really threw everything at it school projects and all 25 years later and it still looks great

Great Product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our first house and discovered under the carpet beautiful-ish hardwood floors. So as good DIYers We watched YouTube and jumped into the task of redoing our floors. Minwax Stain (Golden Oak) followed by Minwax polyurethane sealer. WoW! Do they look amazing! And I could jump on the website and chat with an expert when I had questions.

Horrible smell! Do not recommend

Would Not Recommend

Horrible product. The smell is awful. We moved out of the house for a week and ventilated and it still smells terrible. We have young children and are concerned for their safety with the strong off gassing. We are now having to move out again and sand this terrible product off the floors.
