Q. Why does Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish appear milky in the can?
The milk-white appearance is caused by the scattering and reflection of light striking the liquid and the particles suspended in it. The slight haziness disappears on the wood leaving a clear finish.
Q. Can Polycrylic® be used over Minwax® Wood Finish™ stains?
Yes, provided the Wood Finish™ has dried completely, which generally takes 24 hours. The one exception is over Wood Finish™ Red Mahogany Stain. Polycrylic® and Red Mahogany are not compatible.
Q. When applying Polycrylic® over wood that has not been sealed with a wood stain, how can grain raising be minimized?
Sand the wood prior to applying Polycrylic®. Before the final sanding, moisten the wood with a rag or sponge dipped in water. Allow the wood to dry, then sand off the raised grain with #220 sandpaper. After wiping off the dust, apply Polycrylic®.
Q. Should Polycrylic® be sanded between coats?
Yes. A light sanding (#220 sandpaper) will remove any fine particles of dust which settle on the finish while it is still wet. Light sanding also helps abrade the surface, improving intercoat adhesion.
Q. Can steel wool be used in place of fine sandpaper?
No. Since steel wool and water can cause rust, steel wool should be avoided around all water-based wood finishing products. A stray strand lodged in the surface could leave an unsightly stain in the wood.
Q. Will water damage Polycrylic® after it has dried?
Once the resins have dried and hardened they cannot be re-dissolved by water. The dry film resists damage from water and household spills.

WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects, especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper protective equipment such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in US) or contact your local health authority.
