What Customers Are Saying
This protective finish provides a clear, durable coating that enhances the natural color and richness of wood. Many users report it is easy to apply, dries quickly, and leaves a glossy finish. However, some have experienced issues with the spray version, recommending the brush-on version instead for more consistent results. Overall, this appears to be a high-quality product that works well for finishing and protecting a variety of wood projects when applied properly.

Covers like it's supposed to but dribbles.
Would RecommendIt does what it's supposed to but sometimes the nozzle dribbles whenever you spray your work.

Used for wood floor coating repair. Great product
Would RecommendI had a bare place on the hardwood floors of my new house. I used 200 grit sandpaper over the area and then added this product. It worked beautifully to cover the bare spot. Be sure to follow the instructions by doing several coats, letting it dry in between. I used a foam brush to make sure it was evenly spread, going with the grain. Once it fully dried it matched well and is not tacky or discolored around the edges where they overlap.

You are the face of the company
Would RecommendYour staff member in the paint department did not wish to assist, he just looked at me and avoided me. POOR customer service. I was assisted after several minutes by one of the paint venders working this department. Please note, I was at the paint department service counter when all this took place.

Excellent finish for a water based product.
Would RecommendLays down nicely but has the same problem as most water based products do. It’s a little runny. The splatter is bound to happen but once everything dries, looks and feels fine.

Sprayer makes large random drips
Would Not RecommendFollowed directions, shook 2+ minutes before use. Finishing birch cabinet-grade backs for bathroom cabinets and spray dropped random (1/4-1/2 inch) blobs on the work that are clearly visible after drying. 65 degrees F about 65% humidity. Never again.

My go to!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own two businesses (Custom woodworking and Homemade Decor) and Minwax Polycrylic (in its many forms) is always my go to top coat! I love that I have the versatility of choosing which sheen I want for each project. It really gives each item that custom finish.

Perfect over vinyl decals
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for some custom corn hole boards that I made. It doesn't yellow and applies easily over vinyl decals on corn hole boards.
