polyshades

prep surface

dry

The better the wood preparation, the better the final result. Sand dry, bare wood with 220-grit sandpaper in direction of wood grain. Remove sanding dust before application. A light sanding will also allow you to stain previously stained surfaces.

Use a high-quality Purdy brush to apply a very thin coat of Minwax PolyShades. Two-plus thin coats are recommended, with six-plus hours and sanding in between coats.

PolyShades is designed to dry perfectly as applied without wiping. Your project is ready to go with rich, even color and durable protection.

Product Description

Product Description

Minwax PolyShades enhances wood grain and reduces finishing time by combining beautiful, rich stain color with long-lasting polyurethane protection in one easy step. It’s an oil-based wood stain that is an ideal choice for those who want to save the time involved in staining with one product and protecting with another. With two products in one, it cuts out a step! It’s a wood finish that can be used over polyurethane finishes, so you can change the color of the wood surface without removing the existing finish. Use on bare or already-finished wood.

It’s easy to apply Minwax PolyShades with a high quality natural bristle brush. There’s no stripping or heavy sanding necessary to remove the old finish. Simply give it a light sanding with a fine-grit sandpaper, remove sanding dust, and brush on a coat of PolyShades.

This beautiful wood stain provides a rich, brown finish with a glossy sheen. It offers a classic color that looks great on a variety of projects. Recommended uses: furniture, woodwork, doors, cabinets & accessories.

Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care products. Since 1904, we have been inspiring consumers to Keep on Finishing. We offer a complete line of products to meet every wood finishing project.

Customers have mixed opinions about the quality of the stain. Some say that it is a great product for a farmhouse look, while others say that the color is rich and adds a nice result.

Customers have mixed opinions about the color of the household stain. Some say that the color is way off, the color floats over the wood, and does not penetrate. They also say that it looks like plastic and is impossible to maintain a uniform color tone density. Some customers also mention that the product is not a stain, it is a tinted transparent polyurethane coat, and that it has flecks of pigment that will not mix or dissolve.

"...the other colors in the PolyShades palette, but this color definitely needs TWO applications...." Read more

"...This wood finish product is not a stain, it is a tinted transparent polyurethane coat. Don't brush it on and try to wipe it off as you would a stain...." Read more

"...Cons: Single step mix makes deep staining difficult and poor color control. Increased difficulty making even appearance...." Read more

Looks great!

Looks great!
I used this to touch up some areas on my floor that looked worn and washed out. Blended well with the original color of the floor. Tiny can actually covered a lot of surface. Let cure overnight and then went over it with floor polish the next morning. Color is 'Olde Maple'.
