Can Minwax Polycrylic be used over paint?

Yes. Polycrylic® may be applied over latex and oil-based paints and well-bonded wall coverings.

What is the best way to apply Polycrylic?

Apply a thin coat of Polycrylic™ Finish with a high-quality synthetic bristle brush. Apply in one direction with the grain. Do not over-brush. Let dry at least 2 hours then sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit) to ensure an even finish and proper adhesion of additional coats.

How do I get a smooth finish with Polycrylic?

Paint doesn’t raise the grain of the wood, so I typically do not sand between coats of polycrylic over paint. However, if it feels rough to the touch after a coat of polycrylic, you can sand with 400 grit sandpaper to make it smooth. Make sure you clean the surface after sanding.

Can Minwax Polycrylic be rolled on?

It’s not recommended to apply Polycrylic with a roller. Using a roller can introduce air bubbles into the finish. Those bubbles can cause the finish to be bumpy. Those bumps will need to be sanded out and an additional coat will need to be applied.

Can Polycrylic be wiped on?

It’s not suitable for wiping. After the first coat, sand off the raised grain with 220/ 320 grit sandpaper. In between coats, lightly sand with 220/ 320. This stuff dries really fast, so you can get multiple coats in a day.
