to long to dry

Would Not Recommend

I have used this product on 3 or 4 different projects and each time it takes up to 4-5 days to dry without being tacky. Thought I had a bad batch so bought a new can and same thing. I know it is probably something I am doing but it is frustrating,

I was pleasantly suprised with this product. I apply with a tubine spray system. No thinninig required,but you do have to watch for runs on vertical surfaces. Two coats are enough,and it came out smooth and clear. Very nice and would recommend.

Dries hard!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to protect some wood trim which I had stained. It was to protect the cheap gyproc used around the kitchen entrance doorway. Since I am in a wheelchair I tend to hit the corners a lot so the trim (stained with Minwax gunstock) and the finish not only protect the corners but they take some rough use (picture a fat guy in a wheelchair trying to pass through the doorway before my wonderful Walker Tree Hound named Goose!X!)

Protection without shine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used the Ultra Flat poly on a vintage hope chest and was delighted with the finish that provides protection without a shiny appearance. Finally a poly without a shiny finish.

Second to none.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was asked by my doctor if I would be interested in refinishing an old beat up dining table of theirs that had significant family sentimental value. I said that I would give it a shot and we are now all glad that I did. I knew that I would be using the products that have been my go-to for years, Minwax stains and polyurethanes. To make a long story shorter, with the stains and properly applied coats of fast-drying polyurethane this table was g...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used gloss Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane as a topcoat on a coaster I made for a Christmas gift, and am very pleased with the results! Our office did a name-draw gift swap, and my friend whose name I drew is from Paraguay, and they requested a coffee-themed gift, so I got them a fun mug and a gift card to a local coffee shop, then decided to add a personal touch by making a coaster from Spanish Cedar and Ipe/Lapacho, two trees native to Para...
