Finishing Touches by Minwax
Getting a beautiful, professional finish doesn't stop with the stain. After applying MINWAX WOOD FINISH in one of 18 natural shades, you should add a protective finish for long-lasting beauty. Minwax offers a choice of quality finishes for every need. Here's how to choose the right one for your project:
Furniture, Floors & Heavy-Use Wood Surfaces:
Fast-Drying Polyurethane by Minwax offers a hard, durable finish for wood that gets a lot of use, such as floors, furniture and kitchen cabinets. Available in gloss, semi-gloss or satin, Fast-Drying Polyurethane ambers slightly for a warm, traditional look.
Doors, Windowsills & Wood Exposed to the Elements:
Some wood needs extra protection from the sun, rain and temperature changes. HELMSMAN Spar Urethane is a specially formulated, durable finish that enhances the beauty of both exterior and interior wood while providing extra protection from the elements. HELMSMAN contains special ultraviolet absorbers to help protect your wood from the graying and fading effect of the sun. HELMSMAN also contains special oils to help the finish contract and expand with the wood and resist fading, cracking and chipping.
Wood Stained With Lighter Colors:
A beautifully clear protective topcoat that dries quickly, POLYCRYLIC Protective Finish by Minwax won't amber over lighter colored finishes like polyurethane does. Available in gloss, semi-gloss and satin, it's perfect for children's furniture or kitchen cabinets.
Easy Water Cleanup & Low Odor Application:
MINWAX POLYCRYLIC Protective Finish is a water-based protective finish with a low odor formula which makes working indoors more pleasant. Cleans up easily with soap and water.
Traditional Hand-Rubbed Finish:
Wipe-On Poly by Minwax gives a rich, hand-rubbed look to traditional pieces, yet it's easy to apply. Use it to restore luster to wood that's turned dull with time. The classic hand-rubbed finish, perfect for antiques, is achieved with Paste Finishing Wax, applied to wood with clean cheesecloth and lightly buffed.
