*Can I Apply Water and Oil Based Products on the Same Project?

Yes! But you must follow a few simple rules to be sure you achieve the best possible finish.

• When using a water-based product over an oil-based product, such as High Performance Topcoat over Oil Based Gel Stain
  • If the oil finish was applied over raw wood, wait 24 hours between the two products.
  • If the oil finish was applied over an existing finish, wait 72 hours between the two products.
• When using an oil-based product over a water-based product, such as Arm-R-Seal Topcoat over Water-Based Stain, wait 24 hours between the two products.

Please see our video, where we discuss how oil and water-based products can be used over each other here.

Remember that you cannot mix water and oil-based products together.

General Finishes Enduro-Var Urethane Topcoat cannot be used with any oil-based product or sanding sealer.
