[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the architectural woodworking industry 40 years ago and didn't use anything but Minwax for all of our finishing needs! 40 years later, and they continue to come up with new innovative products! This farm table was a light blonde, and in horrible condition! I just sanded a little bit of wood filler where I need to and finished the top. I painted legs and the chairs white! I continuously get compliments and recommend the product to my friends and clients! Realtor Pam
Awesome product. I used this to darken a pre-existing wood staircase. The nice thing about this is that you do not need to get to bare wood. You apply it over lightly sanded prior varnish. For us, it worked like magic, after 2 coats, we got a beautiful darkening of the oak. Highly recommended.
Honestly everyone that is complaining about this product must be using the wrong type of brush, shopping too much on at once, or are just not prepping their object correctly. Granted it does seem the darker colors do not give you a ton of leeway for error. I've use three different products in the polyshade line now and I've had the most success with the gloss pecan. It does come out with a high sheen to it but just looks absolutely amazing. Everything is pretty much uniform; color, shine, coverage, and texture are all pretty invariable. However, satin mission oak gave me minor issues with streaking. Perhaps when I cleaned the wood with mineral spirits prior i didn't let it dry long enough, but it's not as if I doused it with a drenched rag. I used just enough to slightly darken the wood but clean it beforehand and waited just over an hour to brush it on. Sating antique walnut.... man I would've loved to see this color to its fullest potential with zero to minimal flaws but that was unobtainable. For some reason this color just did not want to cooperate what so ever. I pretty much burned through 3 or 4 "000" steel wool pads, I think 2 "0000" wool, and maybe 2 of each 60, 120, 220, 320 and a single 800 grit just hoping I could get something that was halfway decent. That never happened. I would have to say stick to lighter gloss colors maybe? That is subjective though, I haven't tried any others yet. Definitely getting a brush that has synthetic bristles is the way to go too. Minwax also has you covered with that too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top piece was before. Goes on easy. I used an old rag to rub on. I prefer a rag to paint brush because it is easier to apply. I used two coats in the pictures. The stain brings out the grains in the wood. I like this stain a lot and plan to use it for other projects.
Bathroom cabinet update. I hated the bland medium brown oak cabinets that are in every house in AZ. Applied the Ebony for a cassy finish! Those who had problems tried to rub on the poly shade. That is only for stain only. Poly is polyurethane, so brush on evenly and let it settle for a nice finish. Two coats!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I professionally refurbish furniture for a living and PolyShades is my #1 go-to for all my staining needs whether for commission or sales. I love how easy it makes getting a beautiful finish!
The stain is uneven when dries. A light even coat is applied but when it dries it's flat and blotchy. The bare wood turned out good but it took a few times of sanding and reapplying. The biggest trouble we're having is the post we picked up from the lumber store. They where pre finished so we roughed them up and put a coat on. The stain is acting completely different on the post then it did on the stair caps(bare wood). The stain is like water and dries really fast and uneven. We tried to buff the unevenness out with steel wool but the finish is gone once we get it evened out. Any help would b appreciated, the project is st a stand still.
I do not enjoy painting and staining in general, but also am very particular about the quality of the finish, so I sometimes do projects myself to ensure quality outcomes. I chose this product because I found that the new sliding doors I thought only needed varnish to match the room actually required stain. Since I now had a coat of Minwax polyurethane one the wood, I searched for a stain that I could apply over the existing varnish. Enter PolyShades. I wish I had read the reviews first. This product is HORRIBLE to apply, especially on vertical surfaces like a door. It starts out very watery, which runs badly, and then it quickly turns gummy as you try to fix runs, leaving splotchy areas that are darker - once this process starts, you can't recover. Critical mistake on my part was to go back to an area and try to even out the color. I will now have to sand the wood back down, and start over. I want to cut my loses and switch to a regular stain, but now have to worry about color matching the trim that I have to redo with the door frame that actually turned out ok.
I am trying to put a darker look to this piece of Black Walnut, it looked good going on but dried with white spots. The wood was freshly sanded and cleaned of any sawdust. What happened?
I read up on this product, and I used it EXACTLY as recommended; now, I guess I get to sand it and hopefully cover it up with gel stain and clear varnish. The coverage is spotty, some areas darker than others, and it's very gummy going on. You can't go over it a second time, or it smears up. I bought it to use on vertical surfaces, big mistake. If you're covering a large area, you'll get a sticky mess anywhere you overlap. I've been using Minwax for many years, this product is not the quality that I expect from them.
