Spray on MinWax!

[Houndpup Rc]

Hey guys! I found out that you can get Minwax in a spray can like regular paint....AND its cheaper than the regular stuff in the can!

Here's the link: https://amzn.to/47J81TI

Gone are the days of handing to wash out paint brushes and minwax off my hands! 😂 👍

Bought some and it came in today! let you all know how it works....

 

[Mr Man]

Cool! Watching this one

So I've used that (and similar spray on polys) with mixed results. On the one hand, I got a nice smooth finish. On the other hand, it caused a lot of delamination of the paper, especially on smaller pieces. Here's a shot of the underside of wing to illustrate. I'll be following your results as well!

Do you think it is because of the aerosol?

Could be the aerosol. Do those cans come in both oil based and water based?

I believe they do.

You need the oil based stuff (That's what I got and in the link above)

Yep. Here's what I've used in the past. Maybe if you seal the edges really well, like using the ol' Elmer's Glue/water mix.

Lately, I haven't even been using any Minwax at all. When I put it on with a brush, I often get streaks, which accidentally look cool for weathering purposes. But I haven't ever been really successful at putting on an even coat- I'll following this thread closely and see if you have better results.

This is the stuff I will be using:

Yes. If you picked up water based by mistake it would lift paper off.

Yup
