Minwax 61430 Polyshades Wood Stain, Gloss Olde Maple, Qt.

Minwax PolyShades is an oil-based wood stain and polyurethane finish combined in one product, designed to enhance wood grain while providing long-lasting color and protection. This one-quart container of Gloss Olde Maple delivers a rich, medium-brown tone with a glossy sheen, making it ideal for furniture, cabinets, doors, woodwork, and interior accessories. Unlike traditional two-step finishing, PolyShades combines stain and polyurethane in a single application, reducing project time and complexity.

PolyShades can be applied over bare wood or existing polyurethane finishes, allowing you to change the color of an already-finished surface without stripping. The formula penetrates wood to highlight natural grain while the built-in polyurethane provides durable, wear-resistant protection suitable for interior surfaces. Its easy-apply consistency minimizes lap marks and brush strokes, delivering professional-looking results for both novices and experienced craftspeople.
