Well, we are talking about Minwax products though. I have learned to be
much more picky than to use their products.
Well it's funny because the satin minwax polyshade is flat but the satin
minwax wipe on poly is glossy but not as glossy as glossy polyshade or
glossy poly. You'd think stain would be the same among a company's own
products.

You would??..what other company packages one product under two color names
because they presume people will not use a pine named color on oak & an oak
named color on pine.....Minwax do, many people do not know that & buy
both....good idea huh?
There are many much better products than Minwax out there to try anyhow.

Satin, velvet or low luster are about the same to most people, hardly
distinguishable to the naked eye, however different paint, stain, varnish &
urethane manufactures may have differing sheen levels for those categories
between flat & Semi-gloss, some even go further like Satin flat or silk &
may even use the term eggshell as both a finish & a color...confusing eh?
Anyhow Satin generally would be half way between Flat & Semi gloss if I
remember right for Minwax Poly.
