   I just tried this, I cut the Min-Wax Waterborne brush on poly 50% with water and then wiped it on. Bubble, burp, blap, blip, blop, screach...... stuck rag. Get the idea. Just buy the reqular wipe on poly it's much eaiser to work with.

   As for the white oak not tinting, you'll have a tough time achieving an absolute here because all finishes will cause some light refraction and therefore cause color changes. The reason the wood is the color it is, is because of the way it reflects light. If you add any type of clear coating to the surface of the wood, it will cause the light to refract much the way a prism does. The result is that some color change has to happen. Using a clear, satin finish will cause the least amount of change where as a clear gloss finish will cause the most. I would stick to the poly's and if that is not acceptable then clear laquer would be my next choice.
