Hi I just asked my wife who does all the finishing work for my wood projects.
She related that she has had polyurethane go on milky but it has always dried clear. This is both oil and water base. She also added that the way it is applied creates that milky problem. It is air mixing with the polyurethane. She found this out when finishing a floor once. She used a roller. This was quick but added lots of air when applying. So, she has turned to always applying polyurethane with a spunge brush. That way she can throw it away when she is finished. She hates clean-up. Dave A.

Now I have started a fresh can, stirred well. The first coat went on beautifully. The second coat is showing signs of the milky streaking again. I thin the poly with some mineral spirits, and wipe it on with a clean cloth. I've made sure to do it in a warm dry place, working the poly as little as possible to get it spread. Does anyone have any guesses as to why I am getting milky streaks in the finish? Blessings, Tom [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
