Minwax 214304444 Polyshades Gloss Olde Maple 0.5 Pint

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 214304444 Polyshades is a one-step wood stain and finish product that combines rich color with a durable polyurethane topcoat in a single application. This formulation is offered in a Gloss sheen with an Olde Maple color, making it suited for projects where restoring or enhancing natural wood tone is the goal. The 0.5-pint size is practical for smaller surface areas, trim work, furniture touch-ups, and detail finishing tasks. Licensed contractors, finish carpenters, and skilled tradespeople working on wood surfaces use this product to reduce labor steps without sacrificing surface protection.

Polyshades is designed for use on interior wood surfaces including furniture, cabinets, trim, doors, and decorative wood elements. The one-step process eliminates the need for a separate stain application followed by a protective coat, which can reduce project time on residential and light commercial interior finishing work. This 0.5-pint unit ships in packages of four, which is useful for maintaining job-site stock. Note that this product may be VOC-restricted in certain regions. Verify local regulations before ordering or applying in restricted areas.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finish carpenters, painters, or qualified tradespeople familiar with solvent-based coatings. Ensure adequate ventilation when applying in enclosed spaces, as solvent-based polyurethane products release VOCs during application and cure. Follow all applicable local and federal regulations regarding VOC-restricted coatings in your area. Allow each coat to dry fully per product label guidance before applying additional coats or handling the finished surface.
