1/2 pt 25555 Clear Polycrylic Water-Based Protective Finish Gloss

I bought this Minwax Polycrylic clear topcoat for a project restoring my daughter’s rocking chair. I had used a different brand on a desk previously and it ended up peeling, so I wanted something that would give a smoother, more durable finish to help protect the paint. This product worked really well. It covered the entire chair and I only used about a quarter of the can, which was impressive. The finish came out smooth and even, and it gave me confidence that the paint will hold up much longer now. The price was reasonable, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be using this again for future restoration projects.

I have a small business and I make snow globe tumbler among other things. This is great for dry glitter cups. It dries clear and is very durable. It starts out a white milky color then dries clear. Easy to apply with a sauce squeeze bottle.

I use it to seal my diamond art paintings. Dries clear and works great.

Used for gun stocks. Love the finish.

This product did exactly what I needed it to. I was painting furniture and the paint seem to be rough. The top coat smooth it out and gave it a glossy finish. It covered with a generous coat. Once it dried it was water resistant. The lid doesn't completely seal so storage may be tricky. But all around it was a great product with minimum messiness.

I used this on a window ledge extension project, due to it being exposed to some elements of the weather, I was looking for something to help protect the finish. I came across this and I'm glad I did, it applies very easy with a brush and the smell is really not over powering or bad, at first I was doing it slowly, just to realize that I should dip the brush in and spread it, it dries quite fast and when it's dry it really looks amazing.

Works great every time… east c on ran up also

I bought this product for an atypical purpose - I was not coating wood but a cheerleading megaphone. I wanted a high gloss, water resistant finish. I never found I liked the result of sprays that much, and after some research, decided on Minwax Polycrylic. I was hand painting a cheer megaphone, so after prepping it, and several layers of the base coat in school colors, I let the base coat cure for about 30 days. You don't have to do this, but I wanted as hard a finish as possible, as the megaphone gets handled, put on track and turf, etc. I then painted on artwork. I used regular craft paint (avoiding enamels as they sometimes react poorly to the Polycrylic). I let the painted design cure for about a week. That is the minimum I would go; two weeks is ideal. I used a cheap sponge brush applicator. I coated the megaphone five times, which uses remarkable little of the product. I coated the first 3 coats an hour apart each, then coats #4 and #5, three and six days after. Basically, you can recoat within 90 minutes, OR then should wait 3 days. The finish dries to a high gloss and doesn't turn color, so the artwork is true to how I painted it. It also is nice and hard, and has been on the running tracks surrounding many a football field with not so much as a chip. The photos in this review are after JUST ONE coat. You can already see it picking up some gloss. After all the coats it was high gloss. I waited a few days and polished it with car wax and boom.

I like it but expensive

Love it

ik heb het gekocht voor fototransfer op hout. Blijkt echter niet te werken. Helaas. Kan het ook niet meer retourneren omdat ik het gebruikt heb

Great product, works as described. Perfect for a clear coat on my RC planes.

Ich benutze es für den Modellbau. Super, wenn auch wirklich teuer. Dafür reicht auch die kleine Menge die man erwirbt, aber bestimmt nicht für einen Parkettboden.
