What Customers Are Saying
The product appears to be a generally well-received clear protective finish, with many positive comments about its ease of use, fast drying time, and ability to create a smooth, clear finish. Customers appreciate its low odor, water-based formula, and the fact that it does not yellow over time. However, some users noted it may not perform as well on more open-grain or textured surfaces, and care is needed to avoid issues like foaming, sagging, or brush marks during application. Overall, the majority of reviewers found the product to be a reliable, high-quality clear coat that provides good protection for a variety of wood projects.

Good product horrible service
I didn't like that the online price was like $4 cheaper and Lowe's would honor that price unless I paid for it online So I had the hassle of that then they couldn't figure out how to ring me out to keep it the sale price from online. Definitely needs to be easier ways

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.

The jury is still out
Would Not RecommendI’m planning to do some end tables and cabinets with this product. Based on my experience with water based stain I’m unsure. You better start with something you don’t care about as much.

Easy to put on and clean up
Would RecommendA bit watery so had to be careful to ensure I caught all of the drips so no buildup once dried on the sides of wood

Must lightly sand between coats but it’s worth it!
Would RecommendUsed on a metal front door - brushed on well. Sanded between coats and 3rd coat looks great.

Yellows when dry
Would Not RecommendI bought this since it states "clear" satin and "keeps colors true". Unfortunately it does not and drys yellow.
