Minwax Polycrylic Matte Crystal Clear Water-Based Polycrylic Protective Finish 0.5 pt

Protect interior wood projects like woodwork, furniture and more and add natural beauty with Minwax Polycrylic protective finish. The crystal clear top coat dries and stays clear and protects against scratches, scuffs and blemishes to protect the wood surface beneath. It's ideal for use over all Minwax oil-based and water-based stains and colors and all wood species including light woods like maple, ash and birch. Ultra-fast-drying protective coating allows for quick recoats after 2 hours. Easy to clean-up the clear wood finish with soap and water. Apply a thin coat of Polycrylic finish with a high-quality, synthetic bristle brush. Apply in the direction of the wood grain. Do not overbrush. Let dry at least 2 hours, then sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats. Do not use steel wool. Remove all dust. Apply a second coat. For additional coats, repeat Step 6 before applying. Three coats are recommended. After final coat, allow 3 hours before light handling and 24 hours before normal use. Special Instructions: Polycrylic finish should not be applied over red mahogany stains. Instead, use Minwax fast-drying polyurethane or Minwax water based oil-modified polyurethane over any red mahogany stain. Special Instructions: Polycrylic finish is not recommended for use on floors because it would require more frequent recoating in high-traffic areas. Instead, we recommend any Minwax polyurethane, including Minwax water based oil-modified polyurethane or Minwax ultimate floor finish for maximum durability.
