DESCRIPTION: Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane is a clear, hard finish that dries fast to protect and beautify interior wood surfaces such as furniture, cabinets, molding, and doors. Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane's long-lasting protective finish makes it ideal for use on hardwood, softwood, and parquet. For exterior wood surfaces, we recommend Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane. Floor projects, you may want to consider the added benefits found in Minwax® Super Fast-Drying Polyurethane for Floors.

SURFACE PREPARATION: Surface must be dry and free of old finishes in poor condition, paint, wax, grease, polish, dirt or other foreign matter. Sand to obtain a smooth uniform surface. Remove all dust with a cloth dampened with mineral spirits. Use of a pre-treated tack cloth is not recommended.

FLOORS: When using on wooden floors, use a lambswool or synthetic pad applicator or natural bristle brush and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. For maximum durability, we recommend three coats. Avoid heavy traffic for 72 hours after final coat. Do not install rugs or clean floors for 7 days.


DIRECTIONS: For Interior Use Only

1. Stir finish before and during use to rotate the product from the bottom to the top of the can. Never shake.

2. Apply a thin coat of Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane using a high-quality natural or foam brush.

3. Let dry 4-6 hours, then sand entire surface lightly with fine sand-paper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion. Remove all dust.

4. Apply second coat. If third coat is desired, repeat step 3 before applying.

5. After final coat, allow 24 hours before light use.

*Note: Above 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. Slight ambering may be experienced when Polyurethane is applied over light-colored wood surfaces. Always spot test in an inconspicuous area to ensure satisfactory results. For light-colored wood surfaces, we recommend using Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish.
