Minwax 131010000 Water Based Gloss Floor Finish Gallon

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY THE 131010000 is a crystal clear, water based gloss floor finish designed for hardwood and wood floor surfaces in residential and light commercial settings. Sold in a gallon unit, this finish uses self cross-linking technology to deliver a durable, high-gloss protective coat. It re-coats in 2 hours and does not require sanding between coats, making it well suited for projects where downtime must be kept short. Low odor and soap-and-water cleanup make it practical for occupied or semi-occupied spaces. Most projects can be completed in a single day.

This floor finish is applied to bare or previously finished wood floors during new installation or refinishing work. Its exceptional flow and leveling characteristics reduce brush drag and lap marks, allowing for smooth, even coats on large floor areas. The water based formula is compatible with interior wood flooring applications where low VOC and fast re-coat times are priorities. Flooring contractors, finish carpenters, and experienced DIYers handling wood floor refinishing are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by a flooring professional or qualified installer familiar with water based floor finishes.

Allow each coat to fully cure before returning the floor to foot traffic or placing furniture.
