1/2 pt Minwax 21310 Honey Pine PolyShades Wood Stain And Polyurethane, Satin

Works well and is a lovely color! I did a light sanding, minimal prep, and it adhered really well. Was just what I needed to change a light side table to a darker color. Looks great!

Good color, one step coverage, went on easy.

Easy, application and solid stain poly protection! My Project moved along nicely because of this product one step does it all stain and protects. I like that.

My only complaint is that it's difficult to apply to large areas with a brush. It gets sticky after a pass or two and creates a lot of resistance when you're trying to get an even coat on a larger surface.Also decided to put a top coat of matte poly on it bc it was a little more glossy than I would expect from a satin finish.Besides that, it's great stuff. Plan on using it a lot.Have only used the classic black, but have a few colors, assuming the experience would be very similar regardless of the pigment.

If people purchasing this finish would keep that in mind, and follow the instructions on the can, most of the issues leading to bad reviews could be avoided. This wood finish product is not a stain, it is a tinted transparent polyurethane coat. Don't brush it on and try to wipe it off as you would a stain. It is not a stain. Don't expect it to penetrate bare wood in the way a stain does. It is not a stain. Do treat it as a varnish or polyurethane type of finish for the surface of wood. Use thin coats. Let it dry COMPLETELY before applying another coat. Sand lightly between coats if needed, especially if there are drips. Work fairly quickly and lightly brush the whole surface to even out a coat before letting it dry. If you're starting with bare wood, use a wood sealer first, or use a regular stain and clear coat instead of this product. The best use of this product is to change the color of finished wood without having to sand off the old finish completely. It will make a light color darker, but it will not make a dark color lighter, though the red-toned or yellow-toned colors can warm up a darker wood finish.I bought this because I'm in the midst of painting a spare bedroom. The closet doors date to when the house was built in the 70s. Their thin factory spray-on finish was looking dull and worn out, and the dark color was dated. The doors bore dings of hard use by kids and the finish had been marred by past by naughty male cats with territorial issues. I didn't have the budget to replace them, and while I thought about painting them white, I'd have to use primer and many coats, and do the rest of the woodwork to match, and that just didn't fit my timeline for having this done (though it's not out of the question for the future). All I wanted was something to freshen the color and brighten the finish. This product looked like just the thing. I chose the chestnut shade to add warmth to the dull dark wood. After sanding, I applied this with a disposable sponge brush. The directions on the can recommend a natural bristle brush, and that might work even better, but the sponge brush worked well enough. The closet doors took two coats. The bedroom door, which was in much better shape, looked great after one thin coat. The baseboards and window moulding took one coat, and the windowsill, which was weatherbeaten and bore lots of scratch marks, took considerable sanding and several coats to get a good finish. The result is woodwork with a nicer color and a fresh new shine. This is exactly the kind of thing this product is for, and it did the job very well.BE SURE TO VENTILATE THE ROOM WELL. This stuff is VERY fumy. I took the screen out of the window and put a large box fan in the window while I worked, which was adequate, but I still worked quickly and left the door to the room shut while the finish dried. Also, keep pets and small kids out of the room while the finish dries! Not only could the fumes be bad for them, but the finish will be sticky for at least five hours, and you don't want small handprints or clumps of pet fur marring your finish.

We recently installed Select Surfaces laminate flooring and had found some dings. Didn't want to leave them unsealed for appearance and in case they would absorb moisture and swell. I found that I can use a Q-tip and apply a tiny amount of this in a suitable color, let is sit momentarily, and then remove any excess w/the other end. Seals beautifully and is virtually invisible.

Product arrived damaged and leaking. Here's how it was packed - put in a plastic bag and then into a large box without any material to secure it. It obviously bounced around a lot in the truck which damaged the lid and caused the product to leak. It was a HUGE MESS.I will point out that what was left of the product itself I was able to use for my small project and I do like the results. But I will never order products such as this online again.

Not cheap

tres facile a travailler

Used this Poly Shades on several pieces of wood furniture...the Tudor shade looks amazing on darker wood and can also be used to darken medium shades of wood...just ensure you apply THIN coats! Do not use like paint, this must be used in very thin layers....you may need up to 3 coats...but I had great results with only 2 coats. This is truly a great product and can transform your wood furniture at very low cost...even old wooden kitchen cabinets can be totally transformed...mine were! My kitchen now looks like an old-style English kitchen! I have used it on dressers, a mirror frame, and even a Victorian-style wooden toilet seat! Product came quickly and I'm very happy with my order overall.
