  • Surface must be dry and free of wax, grease, polish, old finishes in poor condition or any foreign matter.
  • Sand to a smooth, uniform surface. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL. Remove dust with a damp cloth. Let dry completely.
  • If desired, apply stain such as Minwax® Water Based Wood Stain or Minwax® Wood Finish™ stain to bare wood surfaces following label directions. Wait at least 24 hours before applying Polycrylic™ Finish over Minwax® Wood Finish™ Stain.
• APPLICATION
  • Stir well before and regularly during use. DO NOT SHAKE. FINISH APPEARS MILKY IN CAN, BUT DRIES CRYSTAL CLEAR.
  • Apply a thin coat of Polycrylic® Finish with a high-quality, synthetic bristle brush. Apply in the direction of the wood grain. Do not overbrush.
  • Let dry at least 2 hours, then sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats. Do not use steel wool. Remove all dust.
  • Apply a second coat. For additional coats, repeat Step 6 before applying. Three coats are recommended.
  • After final coat, allow 3 hours before light handling and 24 hours before normal use.
  • Special Instructions: Polycrylic Finish should not be applied over red mahogany stains. Instead, use Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane or Minwax® Water Based Oil-Modified Polyurethane over any red mahogany stain.
  • Special Instructions: Polycrylic Finish is not recommended for use on floors because it would require more frequent recoating in high-traffic areas. Instead, we recommend any Minwax® polyurethane, including Minwax® Water Based Oil-Modified Polyurethane or Minwax® Ultimate Floor Finish for maximum durability.
