Minwax 1 Quart Satin Polycrylic Protective Finishes 63333

A fairly good finish

Purchased for an indoor project as a means of reducing the odor associated with the oil based product. This was the first time I used the water based product. The photos illustrate the finished results on an kitchen island project. The wood pictured is cypress stained with Minwax oil based light pecan. The long horizontal boards (first photo) were pre-stained prior to installing to reduce indoor oil. The polycrylic was applied with a disposable natural fiber "chip" brush. A total of 3 coats was applied with light sanding with fine grit sand paper between the first and second coat. The end pieces (photo 2) were finished outside prior to install using the same process. Overall the product use easy to apply and went on bubble free. Overall appearance after final coat was very good despite using a "disposable" natural fiber brush. Clean up, very easy as the brush was easy to clean with just water. I was able to use the same "disposable brush" for the entire project, and the brush still is in good shape (see photo 3), with little to no residue present. Odor was minimal and did not persist for more than 1 to two days. This is a versatile product for indoor projects. Clean up is easy with just soap and water, much safer for indoor use due to less chemicals. I'm quite pleased with the results, and would expect a "furniture grade" finish if applied with a good quality brush or sprayed. My go to for indoor wood and furniture projects.

Very good, need to learn the technique of applying because it dries fast and to prevent the foggy appearance

This applies extremely well. I had almost no bubbles on my project which is a first. sanded in between coats with a light 420grit sanding. Would caution that it is not the clearest finish I have worked with. This seems to have a coat which darkens timbers only slightly less than an oil based poly. There are other water based polys I have used which resulted in a closer color to the natural wood, however this pales in significance when compared to the quality of the finish
