I grew up watching my Mom use Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish, Clear Satin, Clear, 1/2 Pint on items she'd refinished.
So, when I read reviews with complaints about how easy a new dining room table I'd purchased was easily scratched and difficult to clean, I decided to try this.
It turned out perfect. 
The Minwax Polycrylic had little odor, was easy to apply, dried quickly between coats, and is crystal clear!
I rolled it on with a foam roller to avoid brush marks.
I won't buy another brand, thanks Mom and thanks Minwax.

Worked Great

watch out for size. i bought this in past didnt know about a small container.  it was around the cost I paid it $1.50 /- more but figure it would be but 
i got a baby food jar size.

double check size

perfect.......thanks

I had a spot that kept showing through the finish. After applying the sealant no more spot. Very nice

Sealer

Stain stain

I recently added contact paper to my countertops and needed it to repel water. I used this poly acrylic in 5 thin coats with a light sanding in between coats. I honestly didn't even smell it. I had a window open but not once while applying did it bother me and I'm here to tell you I have a very sensitive nose. Also, here's a hack. If you struggle with  strokes  being left on your piece use a magic eraser. It works perfect. I just lined a paper plate with aluminum foil and poured out a little at a time for the coat I needed. Laid the sponge face down and then applied it in a vertical back and forth motion. Worked perfectly. The sheen of satin is very pretty. 1/2 of a pint was enough to do five things coats to 28sq ft. It also dried quickly.

PRICE TOO HIGH!   3 STAR RATE   - PRODUCT 5 *. CAN BE BOUGHT AT OTHER PLACES FOR AT LEAST 4-5 $ CHEAPER. WALMART GETTING EXPENSIVE AND ABSOLUTELY HATE THE  NEW DELIVERY SCAM - GETTING LIKE AMAZON  - BAD BAD BAD. An AMERICAN ICON GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

TOO EXPENSIVE PRODUCT OK

Minwax Polycrylic Clear Satin has become my go-to topcoat for furniture and craft projects. It brushes on smoothly, dries quickly, and leaves a clean, even finish without yellowing. I used it on light wood surfaces, and the color stayed natural and bright. I liked that cleanup only required soap and water and that the final coat felt durable without adding gloss. The product has a mild odor that fades quickly and performs best when applied in thin coats. It may not be as tough as oil-based finishes for heavy-duty use, but for household furniture and decorative pieces it gives a professional look. The half-pint size is perfect for small projects, and the results are reliable every time!

Clear satin finish that dries fast and pro look

it turned my white paint yellow when I applied it. I had to repaint everywhere I had put the poly crylic and that  frustrated me tremendously. I will never use it again.

Customers praise the product's smooth finish, ease of application, and cleaning, as well as its ability to preserve the natural beauty of wood and provide a clear finish. However, some users experience issues with bubbles, streaks, and bumps due to application technique or product agitation. Opinions on the price are divided, with some finding it a great deal and others deeming it overpriced. Overall, the product's appearance and performance are highly regarded, but its value for the price is a subject of debate.
