It is more than likely good. I've also found that somewhat dried out but
still gooey poly is terrific for thick coatings on exterior fenceposts.

Hi All,

Anyone know if 1 year old minwax poly that was out in a garage
is still good? It was opened once or twice and it was subjected to
freezing
temps since the garage isnt heated.

Thanks,

Sam

Not for me, especially if it had been opened.

Easy answer....What is the cost of the poly and what is the value of what
you want to use it on?

Test ANY questionable finish material on scrap.

Yeah you're right. Looks like I am off to HD.

Yeah, that's a very good and fair answer.

I would say for some snazzy something I just spent two weeks building, no
way. For a walking stick, it's probably still good. I've used pre-opened
poly a lot older than that in situations where the quality of the finish
wasn't that important.

So if it were me, I wouldn't just toss it. Then again, I'm a cheapskate,
and a pack rat. I never throw away anything I might conceivably use for
something some day.
