Why are you applying it to?
I scratched a few boards on my hardwood floor, so had to strip those down to bare wood.... then matched the stain color well, but the finish is too clear compared to the original. I think a bit of cloudiness within another coat of polyurethane would help.

I gotcha.. honestly.. I'd grab a few pieces of scrap wood and apply the stain and then separate out some of the poly and add various things to it to get a desired color.
Also as queer as it may sound..Pinterest probably has a solution as to how to achieve the desired color.
But like others have said..Humidity may be you best option. thats why it is hazy looking to begin with.

Maybe you're using the wrong type of finish... like using gloss when you should use satin?

God I cant believe I am helping Rex.
Could your poly have been a satin instead of clear?

Those must have been some serious scratches, otherwise it would have been easier to touch up the scratches and blend that in than doing whole boards.
