Never again
I can't really speak for the actual finish, as the shoddy and cheap design of the aerosol can has ruined a good portion of a job I'm doing, and I get to waste a ton of time and money fixing it. I bought four new cans of polycrylic aerosol cans from a national hardware chain to seal wood cabinets. After a few test passes, I started applying it to the cabinets, and despite following the directions about initial shaking and intermittent shaking, the can started spitting out frothy blobs in the fine mist, and they stand out terribly on the wood. I can't, don't want to, and shouldn't have to, apply so much spray that it would cover these blob marks up, and I cant sand them out without ruining the stain on the wood. I start using the other brand new cans thinking one is defective, and they have the same problem, and one is so bad it's like spraying a can of shaving cream. Every single spray cap was sitting crooked in the valve, and when one popped off with no effort to do so, the plastic bottom of it looked mangled. Same with all of them. It's clear a batch of these went out defective, and if quality control doesn't care about a visually obvious problem, I can't trust the product formulation quality control either.

Flat finish sometimes. Gloss other times.
I used the Minwax polycronic finish on some maple flooring transition pieces I fabricated. Mainly concerned with getting a flat finish. Sometimes I get flat and sometime I get glossy. I don't think I'm doing anything different.

Bad experience with matte finish poly acrylic
I attempted to use the matte finish Paul acrylic on a picture windowsill that I had sanded and re-stained. I stirred the product for nearly 3 minutes to ensure there was no separation within the can. I had read the recommendation to apply the coating quickly and thinly. However, I really did not have a chance to do that, because the holly acrylic gelled immediately upon contact with a wood. I attempted to wipe it off with a damp cloth, but it was too late for that as well. I had to wait for it to dry, sand it off, and carefully re-stain to match what I had just stained. I will never use this product again as it seems to be more like a fast drying glue, than a type of varnish. I’m going back to conventional oil based urethane. I would recommend it to Minwax that they put a warning on this product. People should try it on a sample item rather than the project they just spent hours or days preparing.

Difficult to get a good finish
I found this product difficult to work with. Despite following instructions on the can, using a quality synthetic brush, sanding in-between coats and taking my time applying, it produced a large amount of bubbles and streaks. I was able to deal with bubbles in coats prior to the final coat by sanding, However, on final coat the amount of bubbles could not be fixed by popping with a pin before the product dried. I won't be using a water-based topcoat on future furniture refinishing projects.

Do NOT Recommend
Horrible mistake, do NOT recommend for cabinets!! Followed directions to the T, came out all blotchy and streaked. Thought the 2nd coat would come out better after sanding, actually came out worse. On 3rd day now and trying to sand all off, it's like a white plastic covering the wood. Never again!!!!!!!! Biggest waste of time and money, which we don't have either of.......

Watch out for strings.
Having followed the written directions and reading some of the comments I find that Im not terribly impressed with the outcome of this project due to the product. I started with the Minwax semi-transparent water based stain on poplar that had been sanded with 220 grit sandpaper and cleaned of all dust. The stain was ok but not the best on the poplar. (Next project will be oak or maple)
After sanding the stain I started with the polyacrilic. I noticed right away that the comments of seeing little bubbles or bumps was, in fact, accurate. I tried my best to prevent their appearance but failed. After several hours I sanded and dusted to prepare for the second coat. It was the same result with the bumps. I’ve not gotten to the final coat but I’m considering sanding with a 500 or 1K wet/dry sandpaper and using a spray for the finish coat.
Another problem occurred in between coats. Strings of dried polyacrilic from the lid, trough and inside the ring. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you thoroughly clean the whole top of the can, including inside the rim, and the entire lid between coats. The product dries quite quickly and will leave stringy residue around the edges of the opening.

High expectations- nightmare application
INSTANT NIGHTMARE ! !
After completely repairing and refinishing a Cherry dining room table that was made by my great grandfather more than 125 years ago, I decided to use the polycrylic semi- gloss finish in the aerosol can. I have used similar cans for finish and paint, so this is not my first rodeo. The only saving grace is that my first application was on the bottom side of a leaf.
After CAREFULLY reading the instructions THREE times and following all points, upon my application the nozzle immediately started to “spit” about 10% of the product with a proper atomization of the remainder 90% of the product into a good mist.
I immersed stopped the examine the nozzle and lightly cleaned it - without creating damage to the nozzle. I started again - with the same results. Fortunately about 1/2 of the drops did eventually “melt” into the spray that came out in the correct fashion, however the other 50% of the drops did not melt and hardened into the finish..
I will allow this to dry overnight and figure out how to repair this nightmare.
Forget the rattle can - I will only use a brush moving forward.
