Minwax 61375 Polyshades American Chestnut Satin 1 Qt

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 61375 Polyshades is a one-step stain and finish product that combines rich wood color with durable polyurethane protection in a single application. Designed for use on bare or already-finished wood surfaces, it eliminates the need for a separate staining step before topcoat application. The American Chestnut color in a satin sheen delivers a warm, mid-tone brown tone suitable for a wide range of interior wood projects. This product is intended for use by finish carpenters, cabinet refinishers, woodworkers, and experienced DIYers working on interior wood surfaces.

The 61375 is suited for interior wood surfaces including furniture, cabinetry, doors, and millwork. The one-quart container covers standard residential refinishing work and touch-up projects. Because it combines stain pigment and polyurethane in one formula, it is particularly useful in production or remodel environments where reducing application steps improves workflow. Note that this product may be VOC-restricted in certain areas. Verify local VOC compliance regulations before purchasing or applying in your jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finish carpenters, cabinet refinishers, or skilled woodworkers using natural bristle or foam brushes appropriate for oil-based finishes. Ensure the work area is well-ventilated before and during application, and follow all local regulations regarding VOC-compliant coatings. Allow adequate dry time between coats as directed on the product label, and lightly sand between coats for best adhesion. Keep away from open flame during application and drying.
