I've had a few hundred bd ft of red oak stashed away for 30 yrs. A few yrs ago I made window jambs from some of the oak. Made the mistake of finishing with Minwax fast dry PU. I'm finally getting around to making all the molding for the room now that I've made the garage into a workable shop.
Problem I came up with is how incredibly yellow the finish has turned on the jambs. I wanted to use a WB PU for the molding. Tried the General Finish Hi Performane WB PU both with & without a base coat of Zinsers Sealcoat. Even tried tinting the shellac with honey amber Transtint dye.For test pieces I am using offcuts from the window jambs. Everything I've tried seems to "pop" the red in the oak & really emphasize the yellow "plastic" look that is already there on the jambs. Do I have any choice but to go back to the Minwax?
Thanks
