Minwax 622224444 Polycrylic Clear Matte Finish 1 Qt

Product Description

The Minwax 622224444 is a water-based polycrylic protective finish formulated for interior wood surfaces. It dries to a hard, crystal-clear matte film that resists scratches and everyday wear. The water-based formula has very little odor compared to solvent-based alternatives and cleans up with soap and water. This finish is sold in a 1-quart container and is well-suited for finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, furniture refinishers, and skilled trades professionals applying protective topcoats over bare or stained wood. Its ultra-fast drying time supports multiple-coat workflows in a single day.

This polycrylic finish is designed for use on interior wood projects including cabinets, furniture, trim, and millwork. The clear matte formulation is especially suited for light-colored woods where a non-yellowing, transparent topcoat is required. It is also compatible for use over Minwax water-based wood stains, making it a natural topcoat choice when those stains are part of the finishing system. Residential and light commercial interior applications are the primary use cases.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by finish carpenters, painters, or cabinet refinishers using a synthetic-bristle brush or foam applicator. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust or contaminants before applying. Allow each coat to dry fully per manufacturer guidance and lightly sand between coats with fine-grit sandpaper for best adhesion. Work in a well-ventilated area even though odor is low.
