The better the wood prep, the better the final result. Minwax Preparation products are the first step to ensure your wood surfaces show their most beautiful colors and smoothest finishes. Start with Minwax Pre-Stain to prevent streaks and blotches by penetrating the wood to promote uniform acceptance of water-based stains and helps control the effects of grain raise. If desired, apply stain such as Minwax Wood Finish Oil-Based Penetrating Stain or Water- Based Color Stains to bare wood surfaces following label directions. Surface must be dry and free of wax, grease, polish, any foreign matter, or old finishes in poor condition. Sand to a smooth, uniform surface and remove dust. Let dry completely. Wait at least 24 hours before applying Polycrylic Finish over wood stain. Stir well before and regularly during use. Do not shake. Apply a thin coat of Polycrylic Finish with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush. Apply in one direction with the grain. Do not over brush. 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. Remove all dust.

Can be used over bare wood and oil-based and water-based stains" I have used it on latex painted wood surfaces and it's fine. And, because it is water-based, it doesn't get that yellow-ish look over time like the oil-based version. Hope that helps. **Q: I painted my table and want a clear protectant, so i can clean it from food spill and such. Will this work without messing up my paint job?** A: Be sure to to read the instructions and use a good brush. I use it on woodworking projects and sand with 220 grit, lightly between coats. In my opinion the more the merrier. It is white in the can but dries absolutely clear. The white helps seeing where you have applied the clear. **Q: Can you use it on a dining table or will glasses leave rings** A: I used this on a dining table, and glasses do not leave rings. It has held up very well across MOST of the table. It was also very easy to work with. However, I will mention that certain sections have basically "peeled/worn" away; now, this could very well be my fault (bad surface prep), OR the fault of the very deep-grained oak I was using, and I didn't use grain filler (water perhaps got into the "gaps" in the grain, sat there, and created a spot for even more water to seep underneath the finish.) I, personally, will probably use something oil-based next time I refinish my dining table, but I wouldn't hesitate to use this again for other future projects. **Q: Can you use this over Annie Sloan Chalk paint to protect?** A: You can, but if you want it to have that flat, milky finish Annie Sloan Chalk paint is known for, then you shouldn't. This finish will give it a shine, even though it's satin. The recommended finish for chalk paint is wax (which I believe Annie Sloan also makes, but I'm not 100%). However, it's rather expensive and needs to be reapplied once every 6 months or so for best results. If you don't want to use wax, I've been told that General Finishes QTHM High Performance Water Based Topcoat will keep it looking the way chalk paint should.(Note to others: chalk paint is not the same as chalk BOARD paint. You can't write on Annie Sloan chalk paint, regardless of the finish.) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars *by F***D on 8 January 2024* Love it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ روووعة *by A***A on 8 May 2023* يعطي لمعان للقطعة و عزل ممتاز ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staining Marks *by I***I on 10 March 2024* Dear Sir, First of all thanks for your time reading this I table to that send it very well starting from 40 grit and up to 230 cleaning the surface between each grit I did that 2 times but I’m getting same result I’m using Makita sanding papers with mirka sander Please help to avoid those marks in the table top Thanks in advance ## Frequently Bought Together - 1/2 pt Minwax 25555 Clear Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish Gloss - DAS Air-Hardening Modeling Clay, 2.2 Lb.
