AFAIK, it contains an amber overprint in order to give the "warmth of traditional polyurethane" (to quote their webpage).
So i would imagine it doesn't even "turn yellow", it starts out that way.

If you want something that stays clear a long time, look for a "water white" finish with a lot of uv blockers.

Daniel, thanks for the info. I will stick with the Polygrylic. The finish will not be as tough however it will be easy to repair if necessary.
