Does Minwax oil modified polyurethane varnish ( https://www.minwax.com/wood-products...d-polyurethane ) give bare wood he same appearance (orange/yellow tone) as an oil based varnish?
The reason I think it might not: a different Minwax water based varnish (( https://www.minwax.com/wood-products...tective-finish ) dries completely clear. An orange/yellow color develops only as the wood ages.
I want to re-varnish some things (e.g. trapdoor in a floor) that have been sanded, but not sanded enough to remove all the marks and stains. The appearance of an oil based polyurethane would be satisfactory. I'm curious whether I can get the same effect from oil modified polyurethane. I'd buy a quart of it to try, if I could find one in-stock locally, but the only local deals are for a gallon of it - about $45.
