Minwax 63333 Clear Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish Satin, Quart, 1 Quarts (Pack of 1)

Minwax always impresses. Good price, dries crystal clear and doesn't dry too fast so you can get the coverage you want. It can get sticky on bigger projects but that's mostly due to needing more time to apply. Looks great, can't beat this quality for the price.

I've been using Minwax Polycrylic crystal clear top coat for forming cells in acrylic pour painting. Works wonders! I love it. There is no color. I just pour it into my acrylic paint and the cells are formed. I will continue to use this product because it works so well for me.

Product is excellent , we loved using this practical item ,,the texture is also what makes product ideal to use , color is always a good quality stain ,, cover a good amount of furniture ,very good ideas , can be downloaded from the website , super smooth . I recommend this product !

Been using for 25 years. Use on indoor work and the oil based for outdoor work. Quite durable only needing a re coat every decade or so.

I am constructional professional and use a variety of application-driven finishes in my personal and professional life. I recently built a range-hood for a residential kitchen remodel that required a smooth, flat finish. Minmax's Ultra-Flat Polycrylic seems like a reasonable choice. The prep process is simple- dependent upon your substrate; in my case, right over latex paint that had been drying/curing for 2 days. Application was straight-forward with a note- water-based clear finishes afford very little working time before they tack. For a large surface- particularly a large, flat surface, you have to work quickly and methodically and know when to not over-brush/roll. Once the bristles or nap start to stick/resist, you're done! I find that Minwax finishes do a solid job of self-leveling/smoothing so once you feel the drag, stop and let the product lay itself down. You get some inherent assistance by formulation since it applies kind of cloudy/milky out of the can and turns more translucent, to ultimately transparent as curing/drying takes place. As you can ideally see in the project pictures, after three coats, the finish is smooth and homogenous (even though over intentionally semi-rustic surfaces). Polycrylic has some "build" to it, so if you like it to look like a coating as much as sheen, you're good to go- with more coats making for more of a film-feel. The film-build can present a challenge if you're tape-masking. Be careful not to peel your finish off by timing your pull correctly, or carefully scoring transition lines. Clean-up is super simple since its water-based; a little soap, water, and work and brushes/rollers/tools come perfectly clean. However- and the reason for the one star ding- as you can hopefully also see in the pictures, I am not sure I agree with "Ultra Flat." It generates more of a matte finish. A true flat clear- especially "ultra" flat- is exceedingly difficult to achieve and may require some mechanical abrasion/scuffing to really knock down sheen. All-in-all, I am pleased with the product and its performance thus far.

Great texture and smooth! I applied it to my new desk after vinyl wrapping it as a protective coat, and I’m happy with the results. It has a great matte sheen

Love this stuff! So far so good on my plastic indoor pots!

This is a wonderful product that covers any wood and model airplane wing covering, and it cleans up with water and detergent, and has little or no odor.
