Rated 3 out of 5 by from Satin looks like gloss I resealed my fiberglass wood look front door with Minwax Spar Urethane Clear Satin. My door was originally a rich soft satin. Now it’s a full gloss. Yuck.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Followed every direction and it still failed I sanded and stained an old table for my back porch. I completely took it apart and used minwax spar urethane on every piece after watching an Instagramer I follow recommend it. Less than 6 weeks on my back porch and it’s curling and peeling. I feel like I’ve wasted all my time and effort not to mention my table of sentimental value is now water damaged. Very very frustrating.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Ruined my project and further business! I bought this product thinking I would get a deep gloss. And indeed that's what I got. It wasn't until a month later I get a call from my client about the table I had refinishing for them. Upon arrival I see why the disgust they had phoned me about. The once beautiful table I had spent hours on was now a putrid yellow color! To my embarrassment I could not explain why other than it was the gloss I had applied. I immediatly took the table back to fix it. Since then I've had 2 other customers call me with the same complaint but they are in such disgust I'm not even given the chance to fix the items. Since then my business intake has dwindled to almost nothing. My how word geta around! Thanks minwax, your crappy gloss has cost me time, money, and business!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding! I tried other urethanes as well at T*** water seal (boy, was that a pain getting off after it faded in 2 months). Helmsman has been on a weather exposed oak threshold for 2 years now and looks like I put it on yesterday! 3 coats.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Protects and looks great on wood!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally, a coating that my wife likes. I prefer my wood having a high shine to it and my wife prefers a dull look. I wanted to try a new and different product that I've never used before. I'm glad I tried this one out. It gives the trim a little bit of a shine, but it doesn't make it too shiny. I'm very impressed with the middle of the road shine and protectant. This is definitely my new go to protectant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good deal [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to protect my honey bee hives. I painted the outsides of the hives and protect them from the weather. The bees seem to not mind the smell of the finish and have been loving their home protected by this finish. I’d buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Finish [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Minwax Helmsan Spar Urethane added the perfect finishing touch to our door. The urethane brought out the beautiful tones and completed our project marvelously. It was easy to apply and didn’t leave residue or mess. I will most definitely use it again in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had purchased  Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane recently to use for my cabinets. This was so easy to use and the finish looks very beautiful. Looking to do more home projects with this  Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really Nice Finish [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 3 weeks ago and built stairs for my motorhome, although it took 1-3 days and was still sticky, the urethane actually brought out better color and I think looks nicer than just a stain. I'll know in 3-4 months how its holds up to rain, but I'm not too concerned, this seems like a good product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice finish [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally got to use this on a project I have been working on. It is easy to use and has been keeping my wood project protected from the sun. It hasn’t faded and the wood has held up to the heat and the cold just fine. I will probably use this on all my future projects my wife gives me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great clear coat protectant [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane is a great clear coat protectant on indoor and outdoor projects. I was using it on some unfinished pallets to create some outdoor plant shelving. Two coats provided enough coverage to make the water bead on the wood. Great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Professional protection! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The MINWAX Helmsman Spar Urethane was super easy to use on my wood sign project. I know it will be well protected for many years now. The urethane along with the MINWAX pre-stain and MINWAX Dark Walnut stain made my sign look great. I’ll happy to use these again on future projects.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Beautiful results [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane Minwax has a long history of quality products. When you have been around that long with happy customers, you know what you are doing. I used this to refinish my bathroom cabinet when selling my house. It provides protection from the moisture in the room. It provides a shine that lets potential buyers this house has been cared for. The instructions where clear. The product worked as advertised. My cabinet came out looking very nice.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Looks great [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethan has made our front door look amazing. Very easy use. We only had to recoat once and the door looks great. I would recommend this to urethane to friends and family to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Drying time I’m using a can I’ve had for several years. After leaving it on surface all night it still feels tacky. Will it dry?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dries evenly and doesnt leave brush strokes [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I make outdoor signs and was looking for a looking for a clear coat to protect against the elements. I got the satin finish so it is not super glossy or flat. The Minwax version works very nicely. I am excited to try it on a couple of window sills and trim in our house that need to be re-cleared.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Five Stars! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is awesome. I used this on my fiberglass front door. It's been 30+ days since it was applied, and it has been holding strong. The Helmsman Spar Urethane is simple to apply and gives any project a professional appearance. This is one of those products that is fantastic if used right. It's simple to use, dries rapidly, and you may apply many coats in one day. In comparison to oil-based products, it is also easy to clean. To achieve optimal results, you must stir thoroughly before and even during application. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Winwax Helmsman Spar Urethane [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a big fan of this product because it is easy to use, it brings the wood back to life by pulling out the natural elements. It gives a coverage of protection from sunlight, moisture and temperature changes. I like that you can see the beauty coming back to your wood with the first coat but I like to apply at least three coats because I want my items to last for a very long time and Winwax Spar Urethane does just that!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very useful for projects [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this polyurethane. I was able to use it for several different projects which was nice. It also help up really well and it is a good quality. We are always doing different projects around the house so this is good to have on hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Brand!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This brand is fantastic and does a great job. I love how the stain on the wood came out and looked. I made a porch sign and stained it with the Weathered Oak which came out a nice weathered gray color. I then coated it with the clear sealant to protect it from the weather outside from being ruined or damaged. I absolutely love how my welcome porch sign came out, it looks amazing. Definitely would recommend this brand product, it does everything that it says it does plus more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few weeks ago for the first time and it works great! Easy to use and looks great. No reside or harsh smells either. I used it in a new outdoor shed I had built. I will definitely purchase this for future projects!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy process [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a major difference MinWax Helsman Spar Urethane makes. The application was a breeze. A good stir and then apply with a brush. Our wooden picnic table needed a good coating of urethane so this was the perfect change to give MinWax a try. The urethane went on smooth but a little cloudy. Since it is a well used table, we did do a second coat. I allowed approximately 8 hours to dry in between coats. I also gave a light sand which is recommended. This is a great way to bring wood items back to life!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Milwaukee urethane [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love this product I just brought a couple bird houses and painted them after I put the minwax urethane on them and what a nice shine it gave them I just hope the smell doesn't last to long so the birds will come to there new house

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Always the best [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane does not disappoint minwax is my go to for varnshing and staining needs. Goes on smooth no bubbling and dries evenly. Always leaves a perfect finish. Would recommend for all your varnishing needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth, durable finish [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the clear satin finish for some faded oak windowsills that really take a beating from our intense New Mexico sun. The sills were sanded a few times and then stained. I then applied Minwax Helmsman Clear Satin finish over the dried stain. My photo doesn't quite capture it, but I love the beautiful finish--It really pulled out the oak grain and gave it a clear durable finish with just a hint of shine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice and easy! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minwax Helmsman Spar urethane satin finish is ideal for outdoor furniture. I believe it comes in a gloss finish as well. I decided to go with the a satin finish. I wanted to refurbish an old style radio that I've had for many years. It was an eyesore in my front foyer. So before throwing it away, I applied one coat to it and it definitely looks better. I'll definitely try a second coat or perhaps sand it completely down and staying at. The brush on formula is super easy to use! They say to wait 4 hours between coats which is super quick compared to other varnishes or glosses that I've tried. I ran into no problems! The gloss vaeration has  UV protection from the sun for outdoor furniture. That will be my next adventure! I like the fact that it comes in two different variations as far as application is concerned. You can choose either the brush on version or a spray on as. Great I would assume for getting into nooks and crannies evenly. The brush on version was very simple even I could do it without hubby's help and that's saying a lot! Highly recommend trying this before throwing away that peace of furniture that maybe has been in your family for years or it's just looking beat down. There may be hope for this old radio heirloom after all!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Like the finish [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I refinished my front door and used Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane to protect the finish. Follow the instructions was key to my success. I had to do a couple of coats to get the finish that I wanted. Be prepared to take your time. I’ll definitely use this for other projects.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dries quickly, one coat worked well, dried clear! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm going to start with the fact that I am a novice furniture flipper! I enjoy finding small pieces like side tables and chairs, wooden, and painting/refreshing/sometimes distressing. I usually layer different colors, and distress for an aged or vintage look. Sometimes shabby chic! I have been please with my work so far but was nervous about needing a top coat to keep the integrity of the paint and keep it from staining from water/household use. I read a lot about others drying with a yellowed tint so I was nervous to try this on my almost stark white table. The spray went on very evenly, was easy to apply, dried fast (but not too fast as to leave streaks or anything while overlapping the spray strokes), and dried completely clear! I may have over sprayed, but I did one "thick" coat and so far has stood the test of time with kids, adults, and pets! I would definitely use again and did exactly what I was hoping it would!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Helmsman Spar Urethane Makes the Door Gorgeous [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a new wooden front door that my husband wanted to hand finish. This urethane made the door look so high-end and gorgeous. I'm proud to see it as I enter our home and everyone has said the new door gives the front of my home an upgraded look. It was easy to use and I would recommend it to others for similar projects.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this. The instructions was easy and clear to understand. I used this on my cabinets and it went on really easy and looks so smoothly and clear. My cabinets never looked better and had a better finish then this. Plus I love how it is fast drying too so not really messy.
