varathane

smallfly:

I have had very good luck with Varathane Super Diamond Floor Finish. Works for me with nitro of 10% and 15%. Comes in Gloss, semi-gloss and satin.

This stuff is hard as an old boot. I also use it for glassing in place of epoxy.

Locally, Lowe's sells it but I have only seen it there in gallon cans and it is rather expensive (about $38-40/gallon). I know it is produced in quarts but I have never seen them.

I got a gallon from a friend a couple of years ago who, at that time, was "in the trade". Think it cost me about $25.00.

I have heard of people having good luck with Carver-Tripp but I don't know that specifically.

I have had the same experience as you with MinWax.

My experience. "Your mileage may vary".

edit starts here:

You would normally NOT expect a clear WATER based Poly-U to yellow. Oil based would (or should) be the culprit here as most oils used in Poly-U formulations tend to be on the "yellow" side themselves.
