Minwax Oil-Based Wipe-On Polyurethane, 1 Pint, Satin

I love this wipe-on polyurethane. I've been using it for 30 years. The round table and chairs, I did 30 years ago and it's still beautiful. I did the stairs from my garage into the house 10 years ago, and despite the heavy use (in and out many times a day with dog), they look the same as the day I did them. It is SO easy to apply, just wipe it on with a soft cloth! Way better than brush marks. And you can lightly buff it with a fine steel wool in between coats, as well as after the final coat if you wish. Three or four coats typically does it for me and it is so easy, takes hardly any time at all. You need to be patient, though, and let it dry thoroughly between coats. This is an awesome product! I just cannot express how much I love it.

I refinish vintage wood radio cabinets and previously had always used spray lacquer. An article in a handyman magazine persuaded me to try the Minwax Wipe On Poly, and I am so glad I did. It goes on so easily with just a small rag - no runs or brush streaks. A second layer can be applied after waiting a few hours and lightly sanding with a 220 grit sponge to create some grip for the new finish. Two coats of the satin product are sufficient to produce a protective coating with a nice soft sheen - nothing at all like the gleamy gloppy finish created by using standard poly. Just be careful to shake the can periodically while applying.

I have it on my desk top and I love this products finish and ease of use. I am a believer in this product.

I have used a lot of finishes over many years. This is the simplest to use of all of them. It's hard to screw up with this stuff. Wish it were more price friendly. It's pretty thin so I usually use at least 4 coats.

Wonderful product!! Easy to use, low odor!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Used this product for years, very satisfied. Being able to wipe it on is what sets it apart. Smell: It's not odorless but mild compared to many others. Coverage: Coverage is good but understand it's made for 2-3 light coats not one thick coat. Smoothness: Like most fine wood projects light sanding between coats will get a superior result. Dries quickly: Dries to the touch in a short time but I always go 24 hours between coats. Finish: The satin finish leaves a light classy sheen.

Gives a beautiful finish, i used the warm satin. So happy with it! Easy to apply. I have several other ounces i need to refresh and I will use this....

Great product.

Good product

Älskar hur finishen blev på mitt köksbord! Slipade upp till 220, sen två lager med bets och tillsist två lager av Minwax. Det ser så mycket bättre ut nu än vad fabrik-finishen gjorde, känns mycket mer tålig med!

Did the job as expected

looks good

Couldn't find this anywhere locally, so I had to buy it here at an inflated price. But the product is great.
