Review on Minwax Water Based Helmsman Spar Urethane 1 Quart Gloss: Ultimate Protection for Wood Surfaces by Dennis Long

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It yellows in polyurethane, shellac and varnish

Handlebar Urethane is a great product but it will yellow your project once you apply it. I've read other reviews about it yellowing but I figured that meant it yellowed with age. I used a spray on my project that was on a white background. Spray yellowed white background. I then added a final layer of liquid for extra protection and my project turned more yellow. I trust the Helmsman name to do a great job of protecting my project, but when it comes time to do it again I will use a non-yellowing, water-based product.
