Keep your interior wood projects looking beautiful and exceptionally well-protected with Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane Wood Finish.

It adds long-lasting beauty to a wide range of interior surfaces, including woodwork, furniture, doors, cabinets, and even hardwood, softwood, and parquet floors.
This versatile polyurethane can be used on both finished and unfinished wood projects. The Satin sheen offers a soft, unique luster for a modern, cozy, and on-trend look, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood with a warm amber tone. Its fast-drying formula allows for quick recoats in just 4-6 hours, enabling you to complete your projects more efficiently. Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects, inspiring consumers since 1904.
Application Directions:
Surface Preparation: The surface must be dry and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax, grease, polish, dirt, or other foreign matter.
Sanding: Sand to obtain a smooth, uniform surface. Remove all dust with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits.
Staining (Optional): If desired, apply Minwax stain to unfinished wood surfaces. Follow directions for application and ensure the stain is completely dry before applying polyurethane.
Stir Product: Stir Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane thoroughly before and during use to eliminate settling on the bottom of the can. Stir to rotate the product from the bottom to the top of the can. NEVER SHAKE, as this can introduce bubbles.
Application: Apply a THIN, even coat of Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane using a high-quality natural bristle or foam brush.
Sanding Between Coats: For the smoothest finish, allow the coat to dry as per recoat time (4-6 hours), then sand lightly with 220 grit sandpaper or an equivalent fine-grit abrasive. For floor projects, use a square buff orbital or disk-type sander with 220 grit sandpaper or the equivalent grit pad or screen (specifically designed for sanding between coats). Do not use a belt or drum-type sander for sanding between coats. Follow the sander manufacturer’s directions. Remove all sanding dust.
Apply Subsequent Coats: Apply a second coat. If a third coat is desired for maximum durability (especially on floors), repeat step 6 before the final application. Most projects benefit from at least two coats.
Curing: After the final coat, allow 24 hours before subjecting the surface to light use. Allow more time for heavy use or full cure as per product label (typically 3-7 days).

Product Questions
Q1: Is this 1-gallon size suitable for refinishing a hardwood floor in an average-sized room?
Yes, with a coverage of 250-300 square feet per gallon, this size is well-suited for hardwood floors. An average room might be around 150-250 sq ft. Since floors typically require 2-3 coats for good protection, one gallon might cover a smaller room adequately, or you might need slightly more for larger rooms or if applying three full coats.
Q2: What are the main benefits of the Satin sheen for a project like furniture or cabinets?
A satin finish offers a desirable balance: it has a soft, elegant luster that’s more appealing than a completely flat finish for furniture and cabinets, but it’s not as shiny as semi-gloss or gloss, so it doesn’t highlight imperfections as much. It’s also quite durable and easier to clean than flat finishes.
Q3: Can I use a roller to apply this polyurethane for a faster application on a large surface?
While the primary recommendation is a high-quality natural bristle or foam brush for the smoothest finish, some experienced users do apply oil-based polyurethane with specific types of rollers (e.g., high-density foam or short-nap mohair) on large flat surfaces. However, brushing is generally preferred to control thickness and avoid bubbles. If rolling, be sure to use light pressure and “tip off” with a brush for the best results. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
