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

Minwax

This product is great for wood stained to protect finish. I didn’t need it for Sherman Williams cabinets and furniture paint.

I'd look for something else if I were you.

Goes on like maple syrup and is nearly impossible to cover any surface area at all with a uniform coat. If you work it (to try and get a uniform layer of poly) you end up with brush marks. It begins drying while you are applying so you see where you applied too little. The trouble is, if you try to add more you are having to drag the brush over tacky poly that surrounds the area where you under applied the product. I would look elsewhere for a polyacrylic option. I thought their old formula...

I purchased this to refinish som wood countertops and am very happy with it. Performed very well.

Avoid this product. Uneven finish. Hard to work.

Leaves brush marks even when a foam applicators is used. Does not spread evenly regardless of applicator type. The satin finish is managable due to the lack of luster from the finish. Still leaves brush strokes but you cant notice them as much. Very difficult to sand. It is absolutely the most durable clear coat but very difficult to work with.

DON’T DO IT!!!!

What a huge disappointment this product is. Despite being stirred properly white chunks kept appearing in the can/on the brush. The coverage was spotty and inconsistent at best, was more like trying to spread chunky peanut butter on concrete and the finish was God awful. I’m no stranger to Minwax polyacrylic I decided to try this product to save a step or two and it took me back about 10 steps. Save your surfaces and your wallet this was a huge miss by Minwax in my opinion.

Drys fast, sheen was perfect for my project.

My go-to poly

Love using through a sprayer for a crystal clear and perfectly smooth finish.

Great stuff

Went on smooth and dried great

Long lasting!

PITA

This stuff is very finicky. I constantly got air trapped causing white marks . I had to re sand several times andcthen gave up and used a different poly.

Great product!

Have been using this to fix up my house and it works wonders!

Easy application

This product was affordable, easy to apply, and dries quickly.

Very good surface cover

I like the durability and it’s easier to use than oil based. Dries fast and doesn’t smell.
