Hey guys - kind of inexperienced so please don't use too much shorthand!

I'm working on a simple project in my house; probably 750 sqft of 100 year old yellow pine. We've got it all cleaned up, sanded. Put down one coat of Winmax oil-based poly. It looks great, but I don't want it to be any darker than it is now. Is there another product I can switch to for the second and third coats? Preferably something I can find in stores, but I'll order it if I need to.

Thanks!
Nathan

its not going to get any darker than what you see.. stay with the product you are using.

Thanks James. One clarification - we cut the poly 1:3 with paint thinner, and we were going to do the next two layers with straight Minwax. It won't darken even in that case?
