As long as the stained surface is porous and in some cases has weathered for at least 6 months you should be able to. Follow all manufacturers directions though to be sure.

You can check if it is porous by spraying it with water. If the water beads, no need to waterproof it. If it soaks in, it should accept a water proofer.

Can you apply oil based deck stain over acrylic stain?

How do you stain over water damaged wood?

Try using oxalic acid, also called wood bleach, on the water damaged area before attempting to stain the wood. If that removes the stain, sand the surface, use a wood conditioner or a clear stain as a first coat, then apply the colored stain. Once that's dry, apply a clear polyurethane for interior use, or a spar varnish for exterior use.


Can you apply epoxy over wood stain?

Yes, you can apply epoxy over wood stain, but it's important to ensure that the stain is completely dry and cured before application. Additionally, using a water-based stain is recommended, as oil-based stains may prevent proper adhesion. Lightly sanding the stained surface can also help improve the bond between the epoxy and the wood. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.

Can you skim coat over gloss paint?

Assuming you are using a dye-based spray on stain, yes, if the gloss is already set up and scuffed! However,while spraying or applying, gloss is too wet/tacky to work with between coats! As I do at work using Acrylic Polyurethane paints onto cabinet parts, your best bet is to apply a first coat of satin, stain over that, then a final coat of satin to seal the stain! (NEVER apply gloss over an unsealed dye based stain, as the heavy material will have a tendency to pull your stain and make the color look uneven!) As soon as the satin is flashed off (10-30min, depending on paint and temp.) you can apply your gloss. This is the method we have used for decades on HIGH quality cabinets!
