Questions & Answers

What protection will this product offer against outdoor exposure to acrylic painted metal?

You should be able to use it just fine. Please be aware that it is an oil-based system. This is an oil-based urethane, so it will yellow over time, just as with any other The same is true for urethane-based urethanes. A water-based cleaner is the best choice if you'd like to avoid this It is made from urethane-based resin.

What effect does this product have on wood stains applied to the exterior?

Without a doubt. It is just a matter of waiting for the stain to dry.

To get a hard finish, can I spray this over an epoxy table top that is tacky in some spots?

As long as the epoxy is tacky, the mixture was probably improperly mixed or the surface was not properly prepared for it.

Are wooden vegetable planters safe to use with this spray?

In short, yes. A problem is the constant water and the wood, so the coating starts peeling off. The color of wood changes whenever it is exposed to sunlight. A better material to use would be ceramic or plastic

There is no control over this spray! I had an issue on the first use, when the spray nozzle became stuck, and the spray would not stop
3/5

As long as it was possible to, it sprayed uncontrollably! **I felt I had bought a bad brand, and I didn't want to have to replace the can in the future. After some digging, I learned that it is a "good" brand. But did I receive a defective nozzle or was there a valve that was designed badly and would not perform well after multiple uses? In the end, it emptied itself completely and I was left with a half-finished plan! Although I was very disappointed, and I knew there is no better brand, on second thought I will probably have to buy it again in the future, hoping for the best for the next time. Please let me know if you know of a better and more reliable brand! There's either too little paint in the nozzle or it's just the paint itself that's too thin? What are you supposed to do with a thin thing like that? Because of this, it had a brief look of shine before disappearing quickly on the pre-production Having stained and polished the wood, it leaves a nearly bare, dull surface. Although I was against the directions on the can, I had to let the paint accumulate on the beads from multiple coats or they wouldn't shine. After overlapping the passes several times, some beads still look dull. That must be the case only with the spray can in question!.

The perfect addition to to your wooden front door
5/5

Having my wood front door facing west puts a lot of heat on In the end, it fades the stain and makes the original (whatever they used) come up like skin peeling after sun exposure. My first experience with this stuff was before I started using it. After 4 years, I spray it on in about two minutes about every nine months, and my door looks very shiny and new! When you have a terrible looking door, remove it, sand it, and refinish it Once it has been stained, a thick coat of polyurethane should be applied, followed by the spray Urethane to maintain its fresh look.

The finish is nice
5/5

Making walking sticks with this urethane and finishing them with it is what I do. There are very few chemicals in this type of coating that do not leave a nice looking finish and protect the wood.

The system works well
5/5

Having used Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane spray for more years than I can recall, I can attest that it provides great, long-term protection. It's important to protect items that are exposed to the elements for good, especially ones that are outdoors. The product I recommend is great. However, make sure you spray in a well-ventilated area Put a mask on, as the smell is pretty strong, and be sure to be in a well-ventilated area. As a rule, it's best to store your item somewhere other than your house while it's drying, because it will stink the whole house up.

The quality of Minwax products continues to shine through
5/5

I can't believe how great this urethane is. A lot of projects I do require urethane and I really like it. The paint on my daughter's step stool has been protected by this coat, and she will need one as she turns 2 and needs a step stool. Additionally, I put about four coats of this stuff on top of the stickers I like to customize to help them stay adhered, and it does a great job protecting and adhesive them. As a rule, we use white phone cases when we customize them. The case stays yellow, but the stickers are still visible. There is only a slight sheen added to the case. Aside from that, it's quite scratch-resistant as well. In my opinion, I would recommend it 10/10.

This sprayer is a bot. It is a nice touch on the When set on a table and left on for a few minutes, it will spray. There seems to be a lot of smoke coming from a ghost. The event did not last very i was impressed with the sheen the spray applied to the surface.

The finish is even, it is weatherproof, and it is easy to use
5/5

I was very happy with the results. There were prior reports of nozzle clogging or uneven spray patterns, and I was concerned about them as well. The two bottles I used did not cause any problems for me. In order to remove paint they need to be turned upside down and sprayed several seconds to make sure no paint is left. Although the film is thin, it is recommended that you apply three layers with one.

DON'T LET YOUR guard down! It took me a minute to take off the cap and blow off the nozzle
3/5

I felt like I was being hit by a power washer when the contents spewed out I bought two cans, but after having a bad experience with the first, I threw out the second. It is not possible to return this item. It was a waste of 2 cans of cleaning product and of the price of the cleaner.
