Purchased last fall, opened yesterday. Stirred as usual, looked ok.
Applied with foam brush on test piece of medium pored teak-like wood.
Set aside at room temperature and it immediately starts to look like
I coated the wood in white soap.
What the hey. After a couple hours no change. Almost looks like I
painted the wood with white lead.

I've used this produce before without problems, but it "might" be
some kind
of reaction with the wood.
The wood was purchased at a farm sale in a batch of other hard woods
that could have been over 30 years old. Some mahogany and what I
thought was teak
but I can't imagine what the heck happened.

Maybe return the can to the store and try another batch.

I am having a similar problem with the same product. The first time
I used it the room came out beautiful. The next room I did a week
later is dull. I used a foam brush both times. I went and bought
another can and went over it to get the sheen. Waited a week and did
another room and the same problem again! Just no sheen at all! Maybe I
have to buy small cans, so it's a new can each time. Depressing! I still
have 4 rooms and a landing to go. I was
wondering if I shouldn't be wiping my brush on the side of the can as
I go? I just don't understand!
I didin't see it in any of the posts but you aren't by any chance
using satin or flat?

Don't expect a reply. Like you, I replied earlier, not realizing that the
post I was replying to was something like 5 years old. Good chance the
poster is not still looking for responses... That said - I doubt it's a
matter of satin or flat. She said the same product worked as she desired on
a previous project. And... the description of the problem is not one of a
satin or flat finish versus a gloss finish.
