Review: This is great varnish which I have experience with from my days in the states. However, the quantity supplied is prohibitively expensive. Water based varnish has become the norm in the UK but most off the shelf brands provide no real protection from the elements, when used outside, and no protection from wear when used inside, no matter how many coats you apply. This is what prompted me to buy the Minwax Poly. However, I ultimately did find a tough duty water base varnish in the UK, "Mann's extra tough", that did the job at 1/10th of the price of importing this tiny quantity of minwax.
Review: Works well do not use it on rainy day because you should put your item out in the sun to dry

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what the difference between this and the polycrylic??**
A: I use both for different reasons. This oil base is more durable against wear and water rings than polycrylic for things like table tops and countertops. It is easier to get a smooth finish when brushing because it dries slower and flows out flatter. It WILL impart a warm, yellowish finish that is visible on lighter woods, and it will create a darker patina with age. It gives a warm, amber glow to medium or dark wood finishes. This quality may or may not be desirable. It usually only requires two coats. Use it for durability, a warm, aged patina, and ease of application towards a smooth finish. 

Polycrylic is not as durable and can show "elbow wear" on table tops after a few year. It will stay crystal clear on white woods, but can impart a milky sheen on darker woods. It dries fast, so you can sand between coats much quicker than oil. However, that can make it tricky to brush it on and get a smooth finish, especially if you brush back over it when it gets tacky. It requires minimum of 3 coats, 4 for long durability. on wearable surfaces Use it when you need a crystal clear finish on light colored woods, and fast drying between coats is desired.

**Q: Will it be very shine and smooth for the surface after I use? thanks**
A: Yes.  I recommend first using a 600 grit sandpaper to lightly remove old finish. Remove all dust with a damp cloth, and then lightly spray on first coat (Thin coat best). 

Wait 24 hours to dry. Next lightly sand using a 1500 grit sandpaper, remove all dust with a damp cloth, and then lightly spray on first coat (Thin coat best). Repeat this step two more times. Glass feel may require additional applications. Remember thin coats.

PS: If you choose the brush method, do not use sponge brushes since it is more likely to leave bubbles, use a good quality sable hair brush. I did a bar top decades ago applying clear polyurethane with about 20 thin coats in the first year about once every other week and I left a penny at the end of the top and coated over it until it disappeared ant the bar top was so smooth. The top was red mahogany that is probably still a luster for the new owner. I could slide a bear from one end to the other end.

**Q: Can this be used on floors?**
A: Yes, this oil based polyurethane fast drying is absolutely engineered for hardwood floor and definitely in high traffic areas. I used the water based polyurethane in the dining room and this is the hallways, this looks so good and is holding up better than expected.

**Q: what is the best way to apply this**
A: Use a bristled brush. Those sponge brushes leave bubbles in it.
