Ratings & Reviews for Minwax Polycrylic Max Water-based Clear Transparent Flat Interior Stain ( 1-quart )

thickness

too thick. Must be applied with an almost dry brush, otherwise it won't level and leave marks

Well worth the money.

Cured fast and durable. Nice flat finish

New favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is amazing. You can use it on all kinds of projects. It's inexpensive and doesn't have e that strong odor some finishes have. Lasts and protects against anything!

not for butcher block

Don't recommend using this product on butcher block. we did 4 layers, worked beautifully, but once water hit the butcher block it left white marks. Having to take the boards to get planed now at a local woodshop and start over.

Not sure what I expected

Great product for durability, fast drying, and easy cleanup with minimal odor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used Polycrylic Max for a DIY project and was impressed with its durability. It provides excellent coverage and dries relatively fast, which made the whole process smooth and efficient. The odor was minimal, and cleanup was easy with just soap and water. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a reliable protective finish.

If you’re unfamiliar, recommend doing research before using this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent product… if you know how to use it. Compared to the original, this product is THICK. But, it’s meant to be. That way it’s a single coat application. It is also is water based. Thus, avoid a roller and select a CLEAN synthetic bristle brush for a smooth applications that’s not too thick. This will dry FAST, so you have very minimal room for making errors.

Easy to apply.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To apply the Minwax Polycrylic was very easy. It applies similar to other top coat finishes. Between coats a light sand and good to apply next coat. Two coats was all that was needed.

Polycrylic Max Water-based Clear Transparent Semi-

I bought this for a project I intend to do this Winter. I have used this product before and find it does a good job.

Only store in town who had this product

Very good product. Easy to apply

Truly one coat

Easy to use, big fan, one coat - EASY!

Great product, dries quickly, no odor, easy clean-

my new go to poly finish for wood. no odor, dries fast, leaves a clear, smooth finish. MinWax has hit a homerun with this product. Gone are the days of oil based poly with long drying time and long lasting odor. Also, clean-up is easy

Do not buy this! Stick with the original

Like the title states, just keep using the original Polycrylic. This product shows every brush or roller mark. It did not dry crystal clear. I'm not going to have to sand down my entire project and start over from scratch. It reminded me of Mod Podge, except that actually dries clear. Huge disappointment!

Odor is an issue with me. But no problem with this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Clearwater covered very well. There wasn't a bad odor. Very versatile. As far as I could tell it is durable. Dog got a hold of my project. She's a puppy so no pics. Lol

Easy to apply

Easy to apply. Great looking finish.

Goes on clear just like regular Polycrylic.

This version of Polycrylic saved me a lot of time since it does not require sanding after application and adding a second coat.
