Likely a carryover, but I always "stir" the Minwax variety by agitating the
can. Invert a few times and don't worry. It's thin, you're using a rag,
and there's always sandpaper.

I'm applying Watco clear wiping poly to the cherry entertainment
center after applying Danish oil. [currently doing the door panels so I
can
assemble the doors]. The instructions on the Watco can say to stir (not
shake) before using. Given that these are 1 quart cans with a standard
screw cap, stirring is an interesting process.

Are there really elements that separate out of clear Watco, or is
this a carry-over from the colored Watcos?
