Full question:

Hi I am wanting to do the bag floor/ but I want to do it in white paper. Would the poly turn it brown or would it stay white? I was planning to stencil it before putting the poly on it.

My answer:

I just bought poly last week and wanted the fast drying kind. They told me in the home center here that all of them (the fast drying ones) have an amber color to them. There is clear stuff, but not fast drying. And you’d really want someone who KNEW to tell you FOR SURE that CLEAR is CLEAR. That just hasn’t been my experience.

    From what I understand, it wears REALLY well as long as it gets several coats of polyurethane on it after the paper is laid down.
