Beautiful jobs completed

I can't tell  you when I bought my Minwax Polyshade, there's always some left in the can from a previous use, it's the only product I use!  It always goes on smooth and cleans up nicely and the furniture looks beautiful!

GREAT PRODUCT

I was originally hesitant to buy this product after many bad reviews on this site but I'm a novice and don't have the time, money or space to do a whole sand down, stain and finish. So I bit the bullet and bought the Polyshades Royal Walnut in Satin and am very happy with the experience! It didn't turn out as dark as I wanted but I have to admit all the pieces look beautiful; and except for the dry time between coats, the smell and the cold from leaving my windows open to ventilate (all of which were not preventable whether I used this product or not) I'm very happy. In the future if there was a finish a little duller than satin I may prefer that instead. Thanks Minwax!

Good stain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top piece was before. Goes on easy. I used an old rag to rub on. I prefer a rag to paint brush because it is easier to apply. I used two coats in the pictures. The stain brings out the grains in the wood. I like this stain a lot and plan to use it for other projects.
