Great product, crappy can
I've used this poly before so I knew it was good and gave great results. I have been opening paint cans for 75 years but have never seen one like this. First off it was almost impossible to get open, Yes , I was using a paint can opener like I have done for years. Trying to get it resealed is a task. The lid just doesn't wand to slide down into the grove. I will think hard about buying another can like this.

I've used Minwax products for years and been happy with them. This latest "Fast Drying Polyurethane" wasn't as good as I expected. It almost dried too fast- not allowing enough time to brush out a smooth finish before it started to get "sticky". The job turned out OK, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything more than a quick, touch-up job.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a college student 35 years ago I spent summers helping my mother in her furniture stripping and refinishing business. This fast drying Minwax poly was her "go to" finish. Easy to apply, self leveling and extremely durable it has also become MY go to finish! I trust Minwax and they have never let me down!

Excellent finish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After brushing Poly on I decided to try Minwax Wipe On Polyurethane. It is great! I mostly do Pine Rustic dinning tables. coupled with Minwax Stains I have been more then satisfied with the finish. The amount of absorption compared to the how much wood grain I like to see is perfect.

Simply love the Oil-Modified Polyurethane

Beautiful on my Old Gun stocks
Would RecommendI've been using the Warm Gloss, 3 coats on some of my really old and weathered Antique Firearms. I collect WWI/WWII and various other guns from different Countries and the ones that have little "Original" Value, I turn them into beautiful shooters with Minwax Poly. I recently restored a 1943 Swiss, K31 that had been weathered real bad, stock was grayish, severely scratched and abused but I saw the beauty underneath. After extensive stripping and light sanding, the wood came up beautiful wi...

to long to dry
Would Not RecommendI 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,
