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

Great for Indoor and Outdoor Applications

Water based and cleans up easy

An Extra Step That is not Necessary

First Time Trying it and it did nothing I can't accomplish without it. I have been working with wood 50+ years, and this was just an extra step and waste of time with no noticeable difference whatsoever. I won't buy again.

Great product for porous wood

This product was a perfect fit for sealing up a wood product that is very difficult to build up finish on. After just one coat this product allowed each coat of finish to go on without being absorbed so quickly.

Great product

Works great. Used to seal wooden handles on knives that I made.

So easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This floor sealer was so easy to use. I had noticed that it was time to reseal the hardwood floors. The packaging has very easy to follow instructions. It was super easy to open and close which I liked and a little went a very long way. The smell was not that bothersome either.

Good sealer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its quick dry feature allows for sealing and topcoating your project in just one day. Can be used on unstained, bare wood floors, furniture, doors and cabinets. Seals wood grain to provide a more even finish topcoat.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on my 50 year old hope chest I refinished. It took a little longer to dry than expected but nothing major. It helped seal any spot that may have been uneven. I'll definitely use this on other projects. Easy to use.

Use it - you won't regret it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I original saw this on a youtube video and tried it out. Usign the sealer makes a huge difference to the end result. I didn't even know it was needed but if you are doing nice woodwork (I make tables) the finish you get working through the grits is far superior especially with mechanical sanders.

Worked well to be a water based sealer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this water based sealer I was thought everything was going to be a mess because my piece of wood that I used it on had been glued in the middle and after the sealer dried, the wood began to bow up in the middle. After several hours I went back to the piece and it had completely flattened out. Not being used to using a water based sealer I was very surprised by this reaction. Everything seems to be stable and fine.

Perfect for the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Minwax Sanding Sealer professional formula was perfect for the job! It went on nicely, sanded down smoothly, and allowed less lacquer to be wasted on the furniture piece. The project was not as hard as I thought it might have been because this product helped make old new again.

Works fast and well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this sanding sealer recently on a small table that I built, and the results are great. I was in a bit of a rush, as I had family coming into town just a couple of days after I started the project, and I wanted to have it done in time for them to show up. I'm happy I made that decision! Per the instructions, I sanded down the tabletop down to bare wood, applied a coat of this Minwax sealer, and within a couple of hours I was able to sand ...

Amazing Results!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing Results!! This sealer was extremely easy to apply after taking in a cabinet repainting project on my new home. The application process was easy and I was able to apply the topcoat on the cabinets rather quickly! The top coat adhered extremely well and I definitely purchase this product on any future projects! I highly recommend!!

Reliable brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I make a lot of wood crafts and rely on a majority of Minwax products. This sand and seal is great for what I do. I use it to prep my wood before treating it. It helps me to achieve a smooth, clean surface for my projects.

Smooth finish

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am refinishing some kitchen cabinets. After sanding them down, it was easy to apply a coat of Minwax sanding sealer. The wood that was coated took finish very well and was extremely smooth. The best part of the process was drying time. I could apply finish in only an hour.

Love, love, love!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to try and I am so glad I did! It was very easy to apply and quick to dry! A huge plus is that clean up is crazy easy as well, just soap and water!! Do yourself a favor and get this, you will not regret it!

Does a good job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was reluctant to get this sealer for my newly installed oak floors as one reviewer said it puddled. Another reviewer said it worked great. I read the directions and followed them and the result was a beautiful finish on my oak floor. I wanted to keep it as light as possible which is why I went with water based products. I am very happy with the results.

Professional Results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minwax Sanding Sealer is such a fast clear sealer with beautiful results. This product dried quickly, filled any imperfections in the wood, for a nice smooth clear finish. I used this Minwax product on a small piece of unfinished furniture and got beautiful result so quickly and effeicintly.

Great quality sealer for all woodwork

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently purchased miniwax sanding sealer. It sands very easily, penetrates well, and drys to a hard finish. I use it on all my work and even buff it. It deals all the wood grains and gives an ultra smooth finish every single time. This has been great additional to all my woodwork initiatives.
