Did you get a can of water based poly? That is what the reaction
sounds like. I don't know if Minwax makes water base, but...


How do you thin Minwax Polyurethane? Thanks

Mineral spirits should be the preferred option. I can't recall how
much you can thin it. The ratio is probably listed on the can. That
being said, I've thinned poly by 50% or more to get a mixture that
will soak deep into the wood. It works very well for hardening pine
desktops.
