Application Directions (Adapted from standard Wipe-On Poly instructions):

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax, grease, polish, dirt, or other foreign matter. Sand to obtain a smooth, uniform surface and remove all dust.
2. Stir Product: Stir or gently swirl the Minwax Wipe-On Poly before and during use to ensure any settled solids are re-dissolved. Avoid shaking.
3. Application: Apply a liberal amount of product evenly using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe it on in the direction of the wood grain.
4. Wipe Off Excess (Optional but Recommended for Hand-Rubbed Look): For a classic hand-rubbed look, after a few minutes (typically 5-10 minutes, or as per can instructions), you can lightly wipe off any excess polyurethane that has not been absorbed, again wiping in the direction of the wood grain. Alternatively, apply very thin coats.
5. Drying & Recoating: Allow the finish to dry for 2-3 hours. If additional coats are desired for increased durability or depth of sheen (2-3 coats are common), lightly sand with very fine grit sandpaper (e.g., 220 grit or #000 steel wool for oil-based poly) between coats once the previous coat is thoroughly dry. Remove all sanding dust before recoating.
6. Final Cure: The product is dry for light use after 24 hours. Allow more time for full cure (typically 3-7 days) before subjecting to heavy use.
7. Cloth Disposal: Dispose of any application cloths used in a safe manner (e.g., spread out to dry flat or soak in water then place in a sealed metal container), as cloths soaked with oil-based finishes may self-ignite if improperly discarded.
