Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane, Warm Gloss, Clear, 1/2 Pint

This did a beautiful job on my interior doors to my bedroom and bathrooms. they were rough and snagged my clothes. we cleaned the doors,coated with a nice brush and the look new and smooth. we gave second coat . The finish is satin so looks great ,not too shiney. Had it delivered,brushes too,tarp too.

My first experience with Minwax products was back in 1985. I built a new primary residence and acted as general contractor. The company that finished the hardwood floors used Minwax stain and topcoated with Minwax semi-gloss polyurethane. Man did the floors look good and the durability was excellent! I have since built three new homes and renovated one. Minwax products have always been used and my number one choice for ease of application, appearance and durability. Being an avid woodworker, I also use Minwax aerosol for small projects and touch-up. Minwax and wood go together like soup and sandwich.

I'm a fan of this product. I put on a coat, lightly sanded with 220 grit then put on a second coat and it is very good, nearly perfect. As others have stated, the odor is fairly obnoxious, especially the first coat on bare wood. My project is out in my shop so that's not an issue. It takes about a week to disappear. The spray can product is worse, might take two weeks. I can see coating an entire floor in a bedroom you may need a gas mask. The first night I could smell it from outside my shop after the doors were closed within about 10 feet. If this is an issue for you Minwax makes a water based Polycrylic which is almost odor free but I find it a bit more difficult to get good results especially on pine. The polyurethane is simpler to use in my experience.

I have been a long time user of all Minwax products. The stains, polyurethanes,including Polycrylic and wipe on poly. I started using the spray polyurethane on several small projects a few years ago and I absolutely love it. If you follow the instructions and do several light coats 2 hours apart, it will give you a professional looking finish on all wooden surfaces. I've used the satin, semi gloss and the gloss. I haven't been disappointed yet. I love the way the spray nozzle turns to spray horizontally and vertically. I have had no problems with the nozzle clogging, even after storing cans for several months. I am a fan of all Minwax products and I plan on using them for many years to come.

the spray on urethane is the best time saver that Minwax has created so far. cuts application and drying time by eighty percent. here are some of my wood carvings I have used it on.

Sticky door which I sanded and applied this product. Dried quickly and the door has been sealed against the elements. Used to also cover a painting I did to seal in the acrylics and give it a shine on canvas. Worked great on my farmhouse table and chairs too.

I absolutely love this stuff it works great

I used Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane on a beautiful piece of wood used as a coffee bar. I watched several videos on application before my attempt. After opening the can I stirred it out. There was a thick sludge at the bottom of the can about 3/4” deep. After stirring the sludge into solution. I applied the first coat and after drying it was beautiful. I prepared for the second coat. When stirring I noticed there as not a sludge layer on the bottom of the can. I Continued to stir to the same consistency as the previous day. After Sanding and wiping with a dust cloth I started applying the second coat. Unfortunately the second coat did not produce the same results. It seemed to separate into clumps. I tried to smooth the coat but it continued to produce a rough texture. I finished the coat and let it dry. The poly never smoothed out. It looked terrible so I had to sand it off. Now I don't know what to do. Very disappointed.

This is my third try after stripping 2 times. Humidity was under 49% with temp at 80 degrees. Left job at 11 am. Came back at 6 pm. Product is lacking enough dryers to preform as directed. Imt done with All Minwax products!

I am in the process of finishing cabinets, I have put 2 coats on them and am not happy at all. I am not getting the finish I am trying to achieve. Almost 2o years ago I used the same product or so I am being told from the store in which I purchased this product. I am using now the premium oil fast drying polyurethane warm semi gloss and before I used the fast-drying polyurethane superior durability clear semi- gloss. What I am trying to figure out has the product changed that much?
