Travis Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Oil based urethane will create that yellowing effect. You're best off using a polycrylic which is acrylic based. Its much more expensive, but it won't yellow your projects. I'm not sure how they stack up for outdoor use, though. But I do use it on some of my indoor projects and it works great. I hope this helps. Quote
chkorte Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 I have made a few outdoor items that I sealed with a Min Wax product called PolyAcrylic. It is a water based sealer that goes on easy, drys quickly to a clear gloss. I have a few items that have been outside for over 2 years and are still in good shape. The finish is still shimy. Quote
