Minwax Wipe-On Poly Oil-Based Finish – Warm Gloss, Pint (40900000)

Minwax Wipe-On Poly is an oil-based clear protective wood finish that makes it easy to achieve a stunning, hand-rubbed look on your interior wood projects without the worry of drips or brush marks. This durable top coat is one of the most robust coatings for wood protection, shielding surfaces like woodwork, furniture, doors, and cabinets from water damage, household chemicals, food stains, and everyday wear.

The clear finish provides long-lasting protection and imparts a warm amber beauty to both finished and unfinished wood. The Warm Gloss sheen gives your wood projects a sleek, shiny finish for a modern and polished appearance. Its formulation allows for quick recoats after just 2-3 hours, helping you complete your projects faster. Ideal for pieces with intricate details, contoured surfaces, or for anyone seeking an easy-to-apply, flawless finish. Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects since 1904.

Application Directions:

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 the Minwax Wipe-On Poly thoroughly before and during use to ensure any settled solids are re-dissolved.
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: After a few minutes (typically 5-10 minutes, or as per can instructions), wipe off any excess polyurethane that has not been absorbed, again wiping in the direction of the wood grain.
5. Drying & Recoating: Allow the finish to dry for 2-3 hours. If additional coats are desired for increased durability or depth (2-3 coats are common), lightly sand with very fine grit sandpaper (e.g., 220 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 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.
