Can be smooth and clear, but may appear milky or leave a film.

Has little to no smell during and after application.

Used this for the first time to seal a custom painted headboard and was blown away by the results. Was easy to apply, dried fast and clear and made the colors pop.

I use this in my glitter tumblers. I would recommend using it with a syringe and to pour it i got it all over me. Rookie mistake

Great choice

Wonderful product. My husband has been doing woodwork for well over 50 years and the things he makes always have this holes out on. We get lots of compliments about the quality

Wood gloss

After reading SEVERAL options on how to top coat a finished "diamond art",  I chose to go this route.  I will use a brush and do a SINGLE COAT and it will be dry in a few hours.  Still working on the painting, but I'm confident using a trusted brand!!

Trusted brand!!

So very easy to use! I make everything from home decorations to  corn hole boards to rustic deck coolers, this clear coat does it all! I use it to seal my corn hole boards and make the tops slick, it for sure does that, brush on with a synthetic brush (not roller or sponge) and depending on the level you want to achieve it can be slick as glass with some light sanding between coats, and when completing I use my buffer to bring it to mirror like finish,

This is definitely my go to and I haven't even mentioned drying time, I hate to wait! And this certainly keeps up with my impatience! Depending on humidity I've added coats in as little as an hour, I'm talking thick coats! It's astonishing how quickly this dries, this is the only clear coat I use now, polycrillic has made me a believer!

Ultra fast drying times, easy to use

I use this Minwax Polycrylic on my diamond paintings. It seals them and keeps the diamonds from coming off. Nice clear coat and lets the sparkles shine thru. Excellent!

Excellent!

This is perfect for sealing diamond painting. It is a watery consistency, don't worry. It is amazing and it does the job. You'll love how your project looks when it's sealed.

Amazing for DP!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] mixing- 5/5
application-5/5 (super easy and really spreads well
clean up - 10/5 !! - wash and rinse- could not be easier.
Finish - 4/5 - keeping thin coats and sanding at 400# is critical - water raised fibers are very prominent and need sanding between each coat.
Overall impressions - excellent material, easy to use and super clean finish. Recommended to several friends based on experience.. Great Product!!

very easy to apply and super quick drying

minwax.com

smooth coverage and dries quickly. Very little odor.

good stuff

Very wasy to apply and dries quickly to lihjt touch. I always wait the full cure time before handling other than curing storage. 

Its light and requires several coats for even and thorough protection. 

Was disappointed it didn't flatten out well while drying and made the coats thicker for this but prefer several thin coats by choice. 

It's a good product, no heavy fumes,   no bad oder. My DIY production line made good use of the quick dry to touch factor for sure. I didnt study it long, but I'm sure one needs to wait the full curing time before useing the item coated and agree it's best practice. I always give a minimum of 18 hours for this but tend to go 24.

Wish there was a less costly way to protect though as I'm always pinching pennys.

Table top painted with 3 coats of chalk paint. Dried for days. 
1st coat of polycrylic I used a foam brush, super light finish. Waited 14 hours. Sanded.
2nd coat used a small roller and it looked like there were some polycrylic bubbles so I let it dry, knowing I was going to sand. Waited 2 hours (can says you can ré-coat every two hours).
Sanded. Lots of little white dots came up from sanding. Weird. 
3rd coat, thicker amount of polycrylic. MAJOR PAINT bubbles.  What on earth? 
Was able to press a few out but then they popped right back up again. 
Waiting to see what happens in 2 hours but not impressed right now. Super worried this is going to ruin the whole project.
