Keep interior wood projects looking beautiful with Minwax Polyurethane Wood Finish. This oil-based clear sealer protective coating protects and adds long-lasting beauty to woodwork, furniture, doors, cabinets and floors. The clear top coat is one of the most durable coatings for wood protection against scratches, spills and more. It can be used on both finished and unfinished wood projects, and is available in a variety of sheens. The fast-drying formula allows for quick recoats in 4-6 hours. Application Directions:

1. Surface must be dry and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax, grease, polish, dirt or other foreign matter.

2. Sand to obtain a smooth uniform surface. Remove all dust with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits.

3. If desired, apply Minwax stain to unfinished wood surfaces. Follow directions for application and dry times.

4. Stir Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane before and during use to eliminate settling on the bottom of the can. Stir to rotate the product from the bottom to the top of the can. NEVER SHAKE.

5. Apply a THIN coat of Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane using a high-quality natural or foam brush.

6. For floor projects, use a square buff orbital or disk-type sander with 220 grit sandpaper or the equivalent grit pad or screen (specifically designed for sanding between coats). Do not use a belt or drum-type sander for sanding between coats. Follow the sander manufacturer’s directions for your type of project.

7.Apply second coat. If third coat is desired, repeat step 6 before application.

8. After final coat, allow 24 hours before light use.

I liked this product. It seems to spread easily on wood, and I like the color/tonality of the finish. It doesn't last long in the can, though; once half the product is used a dry layer forms on top of the liquid inside the can that gets thicker and thicker with time. I tried closing the can well, and placing the closed can inside a plastic, but it didn't help.

First time refinishing floors and was seriously intimidated. Did loads of research, read allll the reviews and honestly, I was terrified to try this. Glad I followed through with it. Super easy. Granted, it's only been a couple days and not yet put anything back into the room yet so will update once I can attest to the durability. My floor looks SO much better. Will use on the rest of the house after my back quits hurting from sanding lol

Product is what I wanted, I didnt want a refund, had to go elsewhere and get another gallon, as it showed up like someone ran over it with a mac truck and leaking. I was stuck with it and never got a replacement

I'm doing a cobble wood floor and I messed up with the 60$ satin poly (remember to stir stir stir). After it dried I realized I hadn't stirred so it left this glaze that was not attractive. I really thought I was going to have to sand the 3 layers of polyurethane off and start again. Instead of going to Lowe's I checked Amazon and was surprised I could order polyurethane with free shipping (prime rules) there I found this semi gloss poly for 30 bucks (half the price of satin) so I went for it. Instead of sanding I just went over my mistake with the satin and I'm very very glad I did. Its not at all noticeable now (the unstirred satin poly) if this hadn't been available on Amazon for half the price of the satin then I'd not have gotten it even at Lowe's. I'm very happy I did!** the second image shows the untouched flooring next to the finished polyurethaned part. My first time ever doing this. My hubs (a builder who's built our home) is even impressed lol plus my 8 year old lives on this floor now. She even telks her teachers about her mommy building the floor**
