Minwax Company the 40916 Wipe on Poly Gloss 1 Pint

Product Description

The MINWAX COMPANY, THE 40916 is a water-based, wipe-on polyurethane finish in a gloss sheen, packaged in a 1-pint container. It delivers hand-rubbed clarity and polyurethane-grade durability using a wipe-on application method, eliminating the need for brushing. The formula carries a VOC content of 275 grams per liter, meeting many regional VOC compliance thresholds. This product is intended for finish carpenters, woodworkers, and flooring professionals who need a controlled, thin-coat polyurethane application on trim, furniture, cabinets, or hardwood surfaces.

This finish is suited for interior wood surfaces where a low-sheen buildup is required between coats or as a final coat on detailed millwork, turnings, and carvings that are difficult to coat with a brush. The wipe-on method allows precise coverage on contoured or intricate surfaces. Each pint unit is sold individually, with a package quantity of 4 units available per case for shop or crew stocking.
