## Description

Minwax Water-Based Polyurethane is a high-quality, durable polyurethane finish that provides a classic, hand-rubbed look. The hard, clear polyurethane wood finish protects and adds beauty to interior wood surfaces such as furniture, cabinets, & doors. The water-based formula of the polyurethane clear finish means it is lower in odor than traditional solvent-based polyurethanes.To prepare for application, make sure your surface is dry and free of paint, wax, grease, polish, old finishes, or any foreign matter. Sand to obtain a smooth uniform surface. Shaky poly well. To apply, add a liberal amount of wipe-on poly to a clean, soft cloth and rub the poly into the wood. Let dry for 2-3 hours, then lightly sand with a fine 220 grit sandpaper to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion. Apply additional coats as desired. After the final coat, allow 24 hours to dry before light use. One pint covers up to 62 feet. Easily clean up with soap and water.Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects. Since 1904, we have been inspiring consumers to Keep on Finishing. We offer consumers a complete line of products to meet every wood finishing need.

Review: Works well and is very easy to use. - This is a water based 'wipe on' poly. Like all water based top coats, this covers well, is easy to clean up, and does not add any color to the base material (other than possibly darkening a reflectively flat surface). And, as a previous reviewer mentioned, this dries quickly and this feature can be a double edged sword. If you do not apply this over your entire surface within a short period of time, you can easily get ridges or overlaps that don't settle out. This particular product, however, has one advantage over all other water based top coats I've used, it is very thin (low viscosity) and is truly designed for 'wipe on' application. In fact, I would not recommend brushing this on since wiping on is significantly easier to apply the needed thin coat. I have not tried to spray it, it might spray well, but I really like the wipe on aspect and use this product where wipe on is preferred (built-ins or small projects). It is important to note that this is wipe 'on', not wipe 'in'. For each coat this should be applied in one smooth motion, with no more than a quick retrace to pick up excess. Any attempt to 'work' it into the surface will probably make the finish worse and loses the advantage of this finish, which is the ability to apply several thin coats within a day. In 4 hours I can apply 3 coats and I'm done. No sanding in between and very easy cleanup. So far I've only used this as a top coat for Milk Painted trim on some kitchen cabinets and I am very pleased with the results. My only complaint is that it is not widely available and I need to pay outrageous shipping costs for a single pint. Even with the shipping costs combined, however, this finish is worth the price.
Review: Pleased with purchase, would buy again - love this product for furniture refinishing, wipes on beautifully with a soft rag, my first choice for top coat

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use a brush to apply it? i'm worried about lint from rags. the brush on poly says it is fast drying and i don't want it drying before i'm done.**
A: Wipe On Poly is designed to eliminate brush application. I use a small square of old tee shirt gathered around several cotton balls and tied with a twist tie. Wear a nitrile glove and hold the "daubber" in your had, dip it into a small qty. of the poly and proceed to wipe the surface. Watch the reflection on the surface as you apply the poly to ensure complete coverage. Allow to dry. Lightly sand with 320 grit and reapply. Repeat until you have the desired result.

**Q: What is the difference between the satin and the gloss and which is better for redoing a farmhouse dining set that will be stained a dark walnut?**
A: The gloss is almost always gonna give you a thicker coat. That means more protection for the wood.
HOWEVER, I believe the satin finish is much “richer” .... and not as FLASHY as the gloss. 

With your dark walnut, I think it deserves the satin treatment.... but
it’s easy to recommend ANYTHING when IT’S NOT MY TABLE!!!

Regardless of what you choose, I hope you enjoy your your “new” furniture!

**Q: Can this be used over oil based paint**
A: Yes it can be used over just about any finish as long as its clean and oil free before application,,, use 2 or 3 light coats to cover

**Q: Why does the quart (2 pints) cost more than 2 individual pints?  Shouldn't be the other way around? Just wondering.**
A: buy the two pints, I have been doing that for a while, it is the same product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST FINISH IN THE MARKET
*by J***Z on December 21, 2024*

The Minwax Clear Wipe-On Poly is the first and only product I’ve purchased for my furniture refurbishing projects, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. This water-based polyurethane is incredibly easy to work with, providing a beautiful satin finish that enhances the natural beauty of wood while sealing and protecting it effectively. I use sponge painting brushes to apply an even layer of coating, and the results have been consistently impressive. The finish is smooth, durable, and adds a professional touch to my projects. Even furniture I coated two years ago still looks fantastic and shows no signs of wear, which gives me hope for its long-term durability. For anyone looking to refurbish or protect their furniture, I highly recommend this product. It’s simple to use and delivers stunning, lasting results!
