What is Minwax® Water Based Helmsman® Spar Urethane?
® is a crystal clear, water-based finish that is specially formulated to protect wood against nature’s toughest conditions. Water Based Helmsman® forms a protective barrier against rain and moisture and the ultraviolet absorbers found in Water Based Helmsman® reduce the graying and fading effects of the sun. Because it’s water-based, it has little odor and cleans up easily with warm water. Q: Do I get the same protection with the Water Based Helmsman® formula as I do with the oil-based Helmsman® product? Yes. You’ll receive the same long-lasting beauty and protection with Water Based Helmsman® as you have for years with the oil-based Helmsman® product. Water Based Helmsman® provides tough protection, indoors and out. It is ideal for use on doors, windows, trim, bathroom cabinets, bar tops, kitchen countertops, and outdoor furniture. Q: Does Water Based Helmsman® naturally amber like the traditional oil-based product? No. Water Based Helmsman® is a non-ambering, crystal clear finish. No
