Yes, it is oil-based. I used some water based polyurethane in a
previous project and had similar darkening happen. But I will give it

How do you use Minwas refinisher? I have a post a few down from you about

How did I use it ? According to the directions- I cleaned the wood,
then rubbed the finisher in with steelwool, followed by another round
of wiping it off with clean steelwool and a tack cloth.
