Minwax 233334444 Polycrylic Protective Wood Finish, Clear Satin, ½ Pint

The better the wood prep, the better the final result. Minwax Preparation products are the first step to ensure your wood surfaces show their most beautiful colors and smoothest finishes. Start with Minwax Pre-Stain to prevent streaks and blotches by penetrating the wood to promote uniform acceptance of water-based stains and helps control the effects of grain raise.

If desired, apply stain such as Minwax Wood Finish Oil-Based Penetrating Stain or Water- Based Color Stains to bare wood surfaces following label directions. Surface must be dry and free of wax, grease, polish, any foreign matter, or old finishes in poor condition. Sand to a smooth, uniform surface and remove dust. Let dry completely.

Wait at least 24 hours before applying Polycrylic Finish over wood stain. Stir well before and regularly during use. Do not shake. Apply a thin coat of Polycrylic Finish with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush. Apply in one direction with the grain. Do not over brush. 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. Remove all dust.

This long-lasting Protective Finish allows for easy soap and water clean-up, so you don’t have to stress about messes. Polycrylic is nonyellowing and low odor to provide lasting protection to your wood project and is a fast-drying clear coat that lets you get projects done faster. After final coat, allow 3 hours before light handling and 24 hours before normal use.
