No, you just didn't have it stirred up well to begin with (or let it
settle out)...

You are probably right, thanks.

I did read the directions. It didn't say to stir it. Nor did the book
that I have. I tried the stirred up stuff on a test board. It's tolerable..
I guess I wanted no-stain polyurethant

I tried the stained poly myself once. It was ok but I didn't use it
again. I prefer to control my stain coat to get the desired results
and then seal with clear.
