## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Wish I Had Used This Years Ago
*by A***K on January 12, 2025*

As an amateur, weekend, shade-tree woodworker who sometimes takes commissions and gets paid, I like to live the delusion that I'm doing "fine woodworking". Which means I tend to turn my nose up at such a common finish as minwax on any serious project, much less a combination stain and polyurethane. Except that I have always had good results witih Minwax's clear fast-drying poly for my home projects. So when the wife asked me to make something she saw in pinterest, I used common sande hardwood plywood from the big box store, and ordered this stain because it was pretty, and the wife doesn't really care if I'm using common hardware store finishes vs some expensive stuff peddled at high end woodworking shops.Honestly, I'm blown away. Both the evenness of the color and the uniformity of the finish are as good as in more expensive finishes. The ease of use is amazing - I just brush it on and treat it like a paint. (It specifically says on the can to not rub it on.) As long as I go with the grain, brush it out, and avoid drips, it looks really great. And while I fully expected otherwise, it does actually look like pecan. I'm going to do some test patches on scraps of hardwood plywood I have in my bin to see how well it works with species like maple, mapa, or oak. But it may be the case that for durable finishes, outside of a binary epoxy, this may be my new favorite option for stained hardwoods.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Minwax product polyurethane is excellent
*by A***R on March 10, 2025*

This Minwax polyurethane product works great, just follow the directions. Make sure your surface is clean and smooth or else you’ll get poor results. Start with a light coat. Let it dry overnight apply a second light coat and then the next day apply a heavy coat. I was very pleased with the results on the Hitchcock table I refinished.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sheen, great rich color
*by T***R on January 27, 2025*

I love the color, texture, and sheen. This is my personal favorite wood finish. Far superior I think to the water-based finishes on the market. Oil-based like this gives a rich veneer, while water creates a vinyl flooring look.
