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

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!

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.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this stain I used it yesterday on my deck and it dried pretty fast left no odor I used both a foam roller and a brush in small areas I ended up with beautiful results. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Works like it should

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice sanding sealer. It left a great finish that looked fresh and natural. Hopefully it lasts a long time. It appears to be very durable. I have a few more project to try this on. It should work out great on those as well.

Great product!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband used this sanding sealer on a project and he says it works great on bare wood and it is clear and dries fast so it seals and topcoats your project in one day. I will continue to buy and I recommend this product to anyone looking for a good sealant.

Great for floors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose the Minwax sanding seal. It was easy-to-use. Allow for thorough drying time,it takes several hours. Must have ventilation, so we used this on a warm sunny day with windows opened. My floors turned out beautifully. It does stain though, so be sure to wear gloves. I wore a mask as well,the fumes are overwhelming. I overall give everyone my recommendation!!

Professional Sanding Sealer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have found that this is the best sanding sealer for wood. The professional sealer was used on our wood floor in our house. It is a perfect clear liquid base finish and will make your wood floor look amazing. It also has a great quick drying feature.

A must have

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I make furniture from black walnut. The wood is beautiful but hard to sand down. I got this to see if it even makes a difference and didn't expect much to be honest. However after using it once I will never do another sanding job without it. It turned out smooth as silk. If you do any wood work at all you need this product.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been doing a project and I’m so excited that I got this because this is exactly what I was needing I’m just starting out doing diys so It’s a learning curve but I will stay this worked really well for me being my first time

Loved it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a fantastic product to use! I used it in our garage when I was making mock shelving. Definitely has a small smell at first but went away over night and by morning it dried and was perfect! It was convenient and worked so well for what we needed!

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this Minwax Professional Formula Sanding Sealer on an unfinished wood table. I found it not too difficult to use. First, I cleaned the table of all dust and debris, then used a foam brush to apply this sealer. I recommend stirring frequently while applying, but you only need a thin coat. I left the piece to dry for the afternoon, then took some sandpaper to rub it down. Lastly, I applied a few coats of Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish...
