Still the best oil based poly for the price.

Would Recommend

I only use Minwax and have since the 1970’s when my dad helped me with projects as a kid. Obviously through all of the different regulatory restrictions, the products have changed. This particular one and it’s latest version- It’s just OK. I was using satin warm oil base. It was not satin. And I stirred the heck out of it. It was much closer to semi gloss. In addition the viscosity is so thin that you have to use very light coats and a sponge brush, you cannot use a natural brush, you’ll have ...

yellow streaks

Would Not Recommend

First few days it was great, finish was glossy and looked amazing. After 3 days it started to turn yellowish and had streaks going through it, now will have to repaint all my cabinets.

I was going to have people over for Christmas, but cabinets turned pee color so unfortunately my Christmas plans didn't work out as I was too embarrassed to have anyone over.

Nothing

I was forced to buy this in store item because they would not stock it for whatever reason. I assumed I would get a case of 4 like the store does but instead you sent me 4 individually boxed cans. Terrible waste of time and cardboard.

Perfect volume for medium size jobs

Would Recommend

I needed to seal a small table that would see some daily abrasive work and the polycyclic dries very hard after about a week and completely diminished ‘gassing off’ over two weeks or a month. Perfect for a medium sizel job where you have a place for items to dry/ cure for about two weeks.
