Interior Clear Protective Finishes

1. Surface must be dry and free of wax, grease, polish, old finishes in poor condition or any foreign matter.
2. Sand to a smooth, uniform surface. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL. Remove dust with a cloth dampened with water or mineral spirits. Let dry completely.
3. If desired, apply Minwax^® Wood Finish™ or Minwax^® Water Based Wood Stain to unfinished interior wood surfaces following label directions. Wait at least 24 hours before applying Polycrylic^® over Minwax^® Wood Finish™.
4. Stir well before and regularly during use. DO NOT SHAKE. FINISH APPEARS MILKY IN CAN BUT DRIES CRYSTAL CLEAR.
5. Apply a thin coat of Polycrylic^® with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush. Apply in one direction with the grain. Do not overbrush.
6. Let dry at least 2 hours then sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats. Do not use steel wool. Remove all dust.
7. Apply second coat. For additional coats, repeat Step 6 before applying. Three coats are recommended.
8. After final coat, allow 3 hours before light handling and 24 hours before normal use.

Special Instructions: Polycrylic^® should not be applied over red mahogany stain. Instead, use Minwax^® Fast-Drying Polyurethane over any red mahogany stain.

Clean Up: Clean with soap and warm water immediately after use.

Coverage: Approximately 125 sq. ft. per quart

Notes: Thinning is not recommended. Keep from freezing. Store below 105°F. For interior use only. Dry times are based on good ventilation, temperature of 77°F, and 50% relative humidity. Lower temperature, higher humidity, lack of air movement or application of thick coats will extend drying times. Always test surface for tackiness between coats. Oil-based stains, paints or coatings applied under Polycrylic^® may amber normally. Always spot test on an inconspicuous area to ensure satisfactory results.
