How can I correctly dilute this (and with what product) so I can use it in my Fuji Semi-Pro HVLP Sprayer? I would like to treat outside furniture after staining with Minwax dark walnut stain

Asked by: YYCDave
Thank you for your question, we apologize for the delayed response. The Helmsman Spar Urethane should be brushed on the surface, we do not recommend to spray our urethanes. Also, our Wood Finish Stains are for interior use only. Regards, Linda @ Minwax Customer Support

Is it "non-yellowing"?? I am having a tough time finding an exterior product that is non-yellowing.

Asked by: TReno
Hello. Yes, our Helmsman Spar Urethane products will yellow. However it is a crystal clear finish that is ideal for use over light-colored woods and stains. We do not offer an exterior non-yellowing product, and our exterior products are not recommended for use over paint. Regards, Minwax Customer Support

Varnish is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 295.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great form many purposes [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Helmsman Minwax is great for more purposes than you might think. Yes, it has great, smooth coverage used full strength. But what I did was dilute 50/50 with mineral spirits and put on saltwater damaged wood. You see, the salt gets into the wood and soaks up moisture from the atmosphere. Then it dries out when it's hot and soaks it up again when it rains. This causes the wood to puff up like a sponge and slough off. To stop this from happening, you scrape off the loose fibers and apply the 50/50 solution. Once several coats soak in you can apply any oil based paint and the damage will not keep re-occuring.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Application is Difficult! I’ve used many different types of clear coat finishes over the years, spray, brush and wipe on, and this is the most difficult product I’ve ever used. I HIGHLY suggest using the very best brush you can buy. Anytime I use a new product, I research the info and videos to look for best practices prior to application. I can’t get the streaks out of my finish no matter what I try. I’m sure that this is a highly durable product if successfully applied. You will need to be extremely diligent in technique, practice and spare no expense on a professional brush. Probably an outstanding product, but there are much easier clear coats to work with.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Very Disappointed I am very disappointed with this product. Not only am I extremely frustrated with the performance, but more so with the lack of information provided on the packaging. I just finished an outdoor warning sign for a customer - all painted with exterior paint. Then used two coats of this product. My white is now yellow and streaky. And the entire surface is tacky after 18 hours. I understand for ready a review now from someone else, according to the company response that this product is apparently NOT recommended for use over painted surfaces. However, that was not stated anywhere on the product labeling!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful Finish I've used Minwax Spar Urethane to refinish 120 year old windows and doors. It is a beautiful finish that imparts a warm glow and depth to the wood. It is perfect for windows that get condensation, expand and contract with temperature, and receive UV. The urethane is easy to work with, brushes and sprays nicely, and levels beautifully. You do have to be a little careful on verticals, as its relatively slow drying nature means it can drip. Those are easily cleaned up though while wet with mineral spirits and while dry with a razor blade. By design, it doesn't cure to a rock-hard surface, but that isn't required for applications like windows and some doors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I still refer to it as "Marine Spar Varnish." My hobbies include making rustic art woodworking projects. The material;s are often reclaimed lumber of which most are designed to endure the midwest's outdoor elements. I am often asked for product referrals and do not hesitate to make the reference of Marine Spar Varnish being used to product teak and mahogany wood on salt water craft. If it can endure these elements, think what it will do in one's backyard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked Fantastic! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t purchased this brand before, but have been pleasantly surprised by how quickly it dries and what a great finish the wood has now. Between coats, I also sanded the wood and was happy with my final result. My father built a water table/sensory table for my toddler, and we wanted to make sure our final product was finished and prepared to stay outside during the summer time. And, so it was able to handle a toddlers level of mess! Knowing this was moisture resistant, I knew it would be the product for us. I look forward to using our new water table in the spring!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from very nice finish I make furniture and this product goes on nice and easy and dries great to a nice finish.
Date published: 2016-02-19
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Good ... but ... I purchased this for my front door project. I sanded and stained the door. The recommendation was to sand with a recommended grit (220 I think) after the stain was dry and a coat of Varnish was applied. After several days of dry time, and over a very carefully applied stain (painted on and wiped down as I went to get a nice stain on my door), my husband lightly sanded the the door. The sandpaper, removed more than the very surface of the varnish, and down into the stain. I was not happy. I suggest that you skip the sanding process! Just make sure your project is dust free and I think you will be happier with then end result.
