Try one of the water based polyurethanes ie Boni Kemi/Jumkers
Strong/Beckers, Ronseal Quickcure, as they are water based they don't colour
like the spirit based..

Hi there

this is my first post and I wondered if anyone could give me some
advice.

I have just finished sanding the floorboards in my Victorian house, and
they have come out a beautiful light yellow pine colour.

I have just been experimenting in one corner with various types of
varnish - ronseal clear satin outdoor varnish, sadolin clear and danish
oil and all are making the wood come out much darker and very orange.
I've noticed that even when I just get it a bit wet it goes the same
dark orange colour.

Is this just the nature of the wood, or is there any way I can seal it
and keep the light colour?

Cheers
vicky
