Easy to use. Love the finish.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a full time furniture flipper and this is my absolute hands down favorite top coat. I use this on almost EVERY piece I give new life to. Whether you spray, brush, or roll, this product goes on so smooth! Dries to crystal clear! Pick up a gallon today!!!!!
I researched a lot of the woodworking store brands. They were very labor intensive, many steps, and almost operating room conditions needed. I have always used Minwax products only projects in the past but thought I'd give the expensive products a try since reading about them in the trade mags. Made up samples, (4), and asked my wife to pick the finish she wanted on her walnut table and benches. . . Guess what, she picked the Minwax finish over all the others! I even mis-tabled them to add to the drama ! ! ! She still picked the Minwax finish. . . and I'd have to agree with her. Easy to apply, used a painting pad and couldn't ask for a better result.
I am currently installing cherry picture frame paneling in our former dining room, which we've converted into a billiards room (who REALLY ever uses their dining room anymore anyway?). I just finished 12 4x8 1/4" cherry plywood panels with 2 coats of Polycrylic over a coat of Minwax water-based sanding sealer, and the results are simply incredible. The Polycrylic has been a joy to apply, brushed out very nicely to a completely even finish, and left NO brush marks at all. It dried very quickly, and I was able to apply the next coat in a couple of hours. A quick sand with 220 is all that's needed before the next coat. In the past, I've always used 2 coats of dewaxed shellac, then two coats of nitrocellulose brushing lacquer - but I am now a believer in the Minwax water-based products. Shellac and lacquer are much more difficult to apply, and they produce no better results than Polycrylic. In fact, I think I actually like the look of the Polycrylic on cherry better than lacquer - and it produces NO FUMES AT ALL (lacquer fumes will literally knock you out). It doesn't even need to be rubbed out like I have always done with the lacquer. For my future cherry projects - or any projects - Minwax Polycrylic will be my go-to finish! I'm very impressed and quite pleased with the results. Pictures are of the finished panels glued on the walls. The “picture frame” trim will be next. It will be 5/4” solid cherry. Can't wait to see how it finishes with the Polycrylic!
I built a kitchen table out of birch and when the kids saw it, I ended up making three more out of eastern red cedar (juniper). I really like the clear finish that didn't amber the natural color. (However, eastern red cedar changes from purple to brown when finished.) One thing I learned was that I needed to apply thick coats that looked milky to reduce brush streaks. Contrary to your recommendation, instead of using a synthetic bristle brush I ended up using a high dollar natural bristle brush. The cedar is bad about having lots of tiny holes and imperfections from its many limbs. I would have liked for the polycrylic to flow more than what it did to help fill the imperfections. It was indoors during winter time and the woodstove no doubt lowered the humidity greatly, which may have accentuated the problem. However, the lack of odor made the projects possible. Couldn't have done it outside in the shop with rain, snow and fog. I'll use polycrylic on my next projects.
I loved how this made my dull dingy cabinets shine clean again. Time wears the finish. Years of clean clean clean oops. Dull and dust attracted. One light coat after cleaning well brings back the shine also stops the dull dingy from reappears, always comes back dried looking woods. I'm impressed it brought life back to my cabinets. I also used it on my cement statue recently repainted And it sealed the surface completely giving it a new shine look to a old statue. I'm getting more of the for my other things that need a pick me up.
I used this on my porch stairs. I also use this in my craft room as well. My stairs came out great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using this Polycrylic finish in our sprayer to refinish furniture. This product has changed the game for us. The finish is beautiful, seamless, and very durable. HIGHLY recommend.
I just did a mahogany coffee table. Dries super fast. I did have a tiny bit of issues with drying too fast but I think the weather is too warm right now. I have minor shiner streaks. Wondering can put a coffee cup on it without coaster or will that cause rings? I have 2 end tables to do and would like it to go smoother. I did 4 coats trying to get it right. Don't think the issue is the product but my application.
I can't really speak for the actual finish, as the shoddy and cheap design of the aerosol can has ruined a good portion of a job I'm doing, and I get to waste a ton of time and money fixing it. I bought four new cans of polycrylic aerosol cans from a national hardware chain to seal wood cabinets. After a few test passes, I started applying it to the cabinets, and despite following the directions about initial shaking and intermittent shaking, the can started spitting out frothy blobs in the fine mist, and they stand out terribly on the wood. I can't, don't want to, and shouldn't have to, apply so much spray that it would cover these blob marks up, and I cant sand them out without ruining the stain on the wood. I start using the other brand new cans thinking one is defective, and they have the same problem, and one is so bad it's like spraying a can of shaving cream. Every single spray cap was sitting crooked in the valve, and when one popped off with no effort to do so, the plastic bottom of it looked mangled. Same with all of them. It's clear a batch of these went out defective, and if quality control doesn't care about a visually obvious problem, I can't trust the product formulation quality control either.
