## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used on floors**
A: I have wide pine floors with lots of grooves from years of dog wear. I applied the classic oak satin over the floors...1st coat over the damaged areas where the finish had worn off and second coat over all. It has held up well for 5 years...still with 3 45 to 50 pound dogs. There is now a very few small spots where the finish is wearing off that I have touched up.  My pine floors look very old and have that rough rustic style that fits our colonial house perfectly.

**Q: Can it be used over already stained wood?  My cabinets need refreshing.**
A: A: Yes it can. I used it on top of a cherry wood stain I did previously. Wanted to darken my cabinets to black. I lightly sanded the cabinets with sandpaper and applied one coat. I need to apply another coat so all surfaces are covered completely. But I love the results so far.

**Q: There are mixed reviews. Should this product me used on finished steps to darken the color? If so what is the drying time?**
A: I wouldn't recommend PolyShades for floors - especially high-traffic areas. I think you're better off with a standalone stain you can build color with followed by a clear poly to build the appropriate protection with (I used three coats on my dining room floor and it's held up pretty well for 10 years). I use PolyShades for things like non-floor woodworking and small musical instrument finishing repairs. Applying multiple coats of the lighter shades will add additional protection more than build darker color. Drying depends a lot on humidity and temperature but I like to give at least three hours per coat, with longer for the final coat. I'm not a pro flooring guy and they may disagree and know some tricks I don't, but that's been my experience.

**Q: What is the approx coverage area per quart?**
A: Can states up to 150sf per quart.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is essentially tinted varnish. Don't try to use it as you would a stain.
*by K***L on August 8, 2018*

If people purchasing this finish would keep that in mind, and follow the instructions on the can, most of the issues leading to bad reviews could be avoided. 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. It is not a stain. Don't expect it to penetrate bare wood in the way a stain does. It is not a stain. Do treat it as a varnish or polyurethane type of finish for the surface of wood. Use thin coats. Let it dry COMPLETELY before applying another coat. Sand lightly between coats if needed, especially if there are drips. Work fairly quickly and lightly brush the whole surface to even out a coat before letting it dry. If you're starting with bare wood, use a wood sealer first, or use a regular stain and clear coat instead of this product. The best use of this product is to change the color of finished wood without having to sand off the old finish completely. It will make a light color darker, but it will not make a dark color lighter, though the red-toned or yellow-toned colors can warm up a darker wood finish.I bought this because I'm in the midst of painting a spare bedroom. The closet doors date to when the house was built in the 70s. Their thin factory spray-on finish was looking dull and worn out, and the dark color was dated. The doors bore dings of hard use by kids and the finish had been marred by past by naughty male cats with territorial issues. I didn't have the budget to replace them, and while I thought about painting them white, I'd have to use primer and many coats, and do the rest of the woodwork to match, and that just didn't fit my timeline for having this done (though it's not out of the question for the future). All I wanted was something to freshen the color and brighten the finish. This product looked like just the thing. I chose the chestnut shade to add warmth to the dull dark wood. After sanding, I applied this with a disposable sponge brush. The directions on the can recommend a natural bristle brush, and that might work even better, but the sponge brush worked well enough. The closet doors took two coats. The bedroom door, which was in much better shape, looked great after one thin coat. The baseboards and window moulding took one coat, and the windowsill, which was weatherbeaten and bore lots of scratch marks, took considerable sanding and several coats to get a good finish. The result is woodwork with a nicer color and a fresh new shine. This is exactly the kind of thing this product is for, and it did the job very well.BE SURE TO VENTILATE THE ROOM WELL. This stuff is VERY fumy. I took the screen out of the window and put a large box fan in the window while I worked, which was adequate, but I still worked quickly and left the door to the room shut while the finish dried. Also, keep pets and small kids out of the room while the finish dries! Not only could the fumes be bad for them, but the finish will be sticky for at least five hours, and you don't want small handprints or clumps of pet fur marring your finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I use this product as a dark wash for painting miniature figures for wargaming...
*by S***G on January 17, 2023*

Regardless of your application of this product, it needs to be thoroughly mixed!!! The pigment sinks to the bottom of the can, somewhat quickly. There are videos on YouTube (spray paint mixer) which demonstrate how to make a mixer for aerosol paint cans, using a PVC pipe, and a pipe test plug, attached to a drill. You drop the aerosol can/Minwax Polyurethane Stain can into the pipe, and spin. The centrifical force mixes the paint/urethane-stain incredibly well, remarkably quick. This will ensure that the pigment is fully suspended in the urethane, before you open the can and begin using it on your projects.If the can is not properly mixed prior to use, the pigment will be mostly on the bottom, giving poor results. It will also lead to the can's contents hardening sooner, resulting in great waste of the product.Hand stirring will work, but you must be slow, and careful not to spill, when the can is full. Spinning it in a drill, with the PVC pipe, allows it to be thoroughly mixed, with the pull of a trigger. Cheers!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Applied Over Existing Finish
*by J***. on July 22, 2025*

Follow the instructions, and you'll be very pleased. Did my bedroom dresser, which had a damaged finish. Let the product sit for 6 hours prior to removing impurities with 000 steel wool, and applying the finish coat. Turned out great.
