Minwax 233334444 Polycrylic Protective Wood Finish, Clear Satin, ½ Pint

I've been using Minwax Polycrylic crystal clear top coat for forming cells in acrylic pour painting. Works wonders! I love it. There is no color. I just pour it into my acrylic paint and the cells are formed. I will continue to use this product because it works so well for me.

Product is excellent , we loved using this practical item ,,the texture is also what makes product ideal to use , color is always a good quality stain ,, cover a good amount of furniture ,very good ideas , can be downloaded from the website , super smooth . I recommend this product !

Been using for 25 years. Use on indoor work and the oil based for outdoor work. Quite durable only needing a re coat every decade or so.

Great texture and smooth! I applied it to my new desk after vinyl wrapping it as a protective coat, and I’m happy with the results. It has a great matte sheen

I am constructional professional and use a variety of application-driven finishes in my personal and professional life. I recently built a range-hood for a residential kitchen remodel that required a smooth, flat finish. Minmax's Ultra-Flat Polycrylic seems like a reasonable choice. The prep process is simple- dependent upon your substrate; in my case, right over latex paint that had been drying/curing for 2 days. Application was straight-forward with a note- water-based clear finishes afford very little working time before they tack. For a large surface- particularly a large, flat surface, you have to work quickly and methodically and know when to not over-brush/roll. Once the bristles or nap start to stick/resist, you're done! I find that Minwax finishes do a solid job of self-leveling/smoothing so once you feel the drag, stop and let the product lay itself down. You get some inherent assistance by formulation since it applies kind of cloudy/milky out of the can and turns more translucent, to ultimately transparent as curing/drying takes place. As you can ideally see in the project pictures, after three coats, the finish is smooth and homogenous (even though over intentionally semi-rustic surfaces). Polycrylic has some "build" to it, so if you like it to look like a coating as much as sheen, you're good to go- with more coats making for more of a film-feel. The film-build can present a challenge if you're tape-masking. Be careful not to peel your finish off by timing your pull correctly, or carefully scoring transition lines. Clean-up is super simple since its water-based; a little soap, water, and work and brushes/rollers/tools come perfectly clean. However- and the reason for the one star ding- as you can hopefully also see in the pictures, I am not sure I agree with "Ultra Flat." It generates more of a matte finish. A true flat clear- especially "ultra" flat- is exceedingly difficult to achieve and may require some mechanical abrasion/scuffing to really knock down sheen. All-in-all, I am pleased with the product and its performance thus far.

This is a wonderful product that covers any wood and model airplane wing covering, and it cleans up with water and detergent, and has little or no odor.

Perfect top coat. I used this as a top coat for my corn hole boards and they turned out great!

Me llego en buenas condiciones si funciona bien le da la protecion necesaria a las cosas
