Hi. I thought I'd #askfedi if there's a way to tell a water-based polyurethane from an oil-based one when you don't have the product label anymore? Maybe by smell?

Am asking so I know how to clean up afterwards. I got some of it from the office maintenance guy and he gave it to me in a plain glass jar. I also didn't know there was a difference at the time.

@phanuel you could put a few drops of water into it - water will dissolve into the water-based one, but not into the oil-based one.
