Clear Wipe-On Poly Water-Based Polyurethane, Satin for Minwax

Minwax Water Based Wipe-On Poly is a versatile and user-friendly product that offers a durable, clear finish for a variety of interior wood surfaces. This water-based polyurethane combines the protection of polyurethane with the classic, hand-rubbed beauty that many homeowners and woodworkers desire.

One of the key benefits of Minwax Wipe-On Poly is the ease of application. It can be applied using a lint-free cloth, eliminating the need to worry about drips or brush marks often associated with traditional polyurethane finishes. This makes it an excellent choice for furniture, railings, trim, and even small floor touch-ups. The water-based formula also allows for easy water clean-up, reducing the need for harsh solvents.

In terms of performance, Minwax Wipe-On Poly delivers a satin sheen that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. It is fast-drying, with a recommended recoat time of 2-3 hours and a full cure within 24 hours, allowing for quick project completion. The product is suitable for use on a range of interior wood surfaces, including furniture, cabinets, woodwork, trim, and doors.

For those considering Minwax Wipe-On Poly for floor applications, it's important to note that it provides a durable topcoat protection, but may be thinner than regular polyurethanes. While it can be used for small touch-ups, for new floors or floors that require refinishing, Minwax recommends using their Fast-Drying Polyurethane or Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors products.

One of the versatile aspects of Minwax Wipe-On Poly is its ability to be applied over existing Minwax Wood Finish or other stains. However, it's crucial to ensure that the underlying wood finish has dried completely before applying the Wipe-On Poly topcoat.

To maintain the optimal performance of Minwax Wipe-On Poly, it's recommended to lightly sand between coats using very fine sandpaper (#220) or fine steel wool. This helps to remove any fine dust particles and ensure a smooth, consistent finish.

In summary, Minwax Water Based Wipe-On Poly is a versatile and user-friendly product that offers a durable, clear finish for a variety of interior wood surfaces. Its ease of application, water-based formula, and ability to enhance the natural beauty of wood make it a popular choice among homeowners and woodworkers alike.
