保护持久的美丽
While wood stains add color and bring out the beauty of the wood, clear finishes protect the wood and enhance its beauty. Whether you choose to stain your wood project or not, it is important that you protect the wood with a clear finish, such as polyurethane.
Most clear finishes are available in gloss, semi-gloss and satin sheens. Choosing a sheen is a matter of personal preference.
光泽度水平会影响你的作品的外观，但不是它的耐用性。
清晰的饰面，有时称为“面漆”将保护您的项目免受水，家用化学品和日常穿的损坏。美丽的饰面会让你的木头活着！
Choosing a Clear Finish
为项目选择最明确的完成将取决于一些关键因素：
- Project type:A project that will see heavy use, such as a table top, requires more protection than a project that will be subjected to less wear and tear. Be sure to choose a clear protective finish that is right for your project.
- 暴露在阳光和湿度：门，窗户，浴室柜，厨房台面和户外家具都可以暴露在阳光下，温度变化和湿度。对于这些条件，您需要使用具有紫外线吸收剂和膨胀和与温度变化的特殊油的精制来保护您的项目。
- 晶莹剔透或琥珀色音调：许多清晰的饰面加入木材的丰富，温暖，琥珀色的基调。其他人保持清晰。您可以选择您更喜欢您的项目的那样。但是，如果您的项目是浅色 - 无论是染色还是未完成的木材 - 最好用留下晶体清晰的表面来保护它。
- 易于应用：一些Minwax®清除饰面可以轻松涂上布料 - 无需担心滴灌或刷标记。有些干得很快，可以用肥皂和水清洗，而其他人需要矿物精神。
- 没有te for hardwood floors:Some general-purpose clear protective finishes can be used on floors. Minwax® also offers topcoats that are specially formulated for hardwood floors. They have application benefits that make them ideal for large surface application.

How to Apply a Clear Protective Finish
最清晰的饰面用刷子施用，朝着木纹的方向上工作。干燥后，轻轻砂。然后取下所有打磨的灰尘并涂上第二件涂层。为了增加耐久性，可以应用第三种涂层。大多数项目将在24小时内准备正常使用。请务必按照您使用的产品的标签指示。
Minwax®clear protective finishes are also available in convenient aerosol sprays that are great for trim, molding and hard-to-reach areas.
在使用过程中搅拌透明表面且偶尔搅拌。
Be sure to mix in all material that may have settled to the bottom of the can.
永远不要摇晃一个清晰的结束。
摇晃会导致干燥的泡沫泡沫。
始终涂薄涂层。
Thick coats take longer to dry and are more likely to be uneven and attract dust.
“提示”每个部分。
以45度角度最小化刷子和气泡，“尖端”每个部分的每个部分，并在木材的整个长度上轻轻地运行刷毛。
在沙子前测试。
, the finish is ready to be sanded, sand a small, inconspicuous area first. If the finish starts to “ball up”, STOP. It is not dry enough to be sanded. Wait at least 30 minutes then test again.
