Application Tips (General Guidance – Refer to Can for Full Instructions):

  1. Ensure the surface is dry and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax, grease, polish, or dirt.
  2. Sand to a smooth, uniform surface. Remove all dust with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits.
  3. If desired, apply Minwax stain first, allowing it to dry completely as directed.
  4. Stir Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane thoroughly before and during use. Never shake, as this can create bubbles.
  5. Apply a THIN, even coat using a high-quality natural bristle or foam brush.
  6. For the smoothest finish, lightly sand between coats (once fully dry as per recoat times) with 220 grit sandpaper. Remove all sanding dust.
  7. Apply a second coat. If a third coat is desired for maximum durability (especially on floors), repeat sanding before the final application.
  8. Allow 24 hours after the final coat before light use; allow longer for full cure before heavy use.

Product Questions

Q1: How does a Gloss finish compare to Semi-Gloss or Satin for wood projects?

Gloss provides the highest level of shine and reflectivity. It creates a very sleek, polished look and is typically the most durable and easiest to clean due to its hard, smooth surface. However, it will highlight any imperfections in the wood or underlying finish more than lower sheens like Semi-Gloss (noticeable shine) or Satin (soft luster).

Q2: Is this Gloss polyurethane suitable for a kitchen table that gets a lot of use?

Yes, Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane in Gloss is an excellent choice for a kitchen table due to its superior durability and resistance to scratches, spills, and frequent cleaning. Applying multiple coats (e.g., 2-3) will provide robust protection.

Q3: The coverage in the details says "12 sq ft/quart," which seems very low. Is that correct?

That “12 sq ft/quart” figure is highly likely a data error. A quart of polyurethane like this typically covers around 100-150 square feet per coat, depending on the wood’s porosity and application thickness. Always check the product can for the manufacturer’s recommended coverage rate.
