Can you apply an polyacrylic water base finish to an oil base stain?

I am doing that right now. It says on the can that it can be applied over an oil based stain...but the stain may continue to "amber" under the coating. I decided to go with the polyacrylic because a friend told me that polyurethane yellows over time. I don't know if that is true...but that is what I decided to do. So far, the acrylic is going over and drying over the oil based stain without any problems.

∙ 11y agoOnce a piece of wood has been stained, it is very difficult, if not impossible , to remove it. Stain gets down into the grain of the wood and can't be sanded out nor removed by solvents. You can prep the surfaces by sanding with 220 grit paper then the oil based stain will do it's job. But you won;t have the color you desire. Experiment if you can.
Usually, a strong methyl-chloride based stripper will remove water-based stain, which doesn't penetrate as much as oil, from a surface. Dad's Easy Spray is a strong paint and stain remover that I have had much success with, even when removing oil based stains.

Can you stain a deck on top of oil paint?
You should check the label on the specific product you're planning to use. If the label states it will adhere to wood with an existing coating, then it's fine to use even over an oil-based stain. (This is because once thoroughly dried, oil-based stains behave the same as water-based stains.) Some products, however, will require the existing stain to be stripped from the wood, or to apply a primer coat over the existing finish before applying new stain.

How do you remove a water stain from a ceiling?
If the stain is dry and the ceiling, if papered, is still sound, then try using a "stain-blocker" paint. Most paint manufacturers produce such paints.* Do not use a water-based paint, such as emulsion or acrylic, because the stain, even though dry, will still bleed through.It is important to remember that two coats may be necessary: the first painted across the stain in one direction and, after that has dried, another coat painted at right angles across the first coat.Do not use any finishing coat until all traces of the stain have been "blotted out" by the stain-blocker. Allow to dry thoroughly and then finish off with one or two coats of ceiling paint i.e. emulsion or acrylic. * Dulux and International Paints(usual disclaimers apply!) are effective.
