Can spar urethane be used over water seal?

Assuming you're talking about wood finishing, spar urethane can be used over a water sealer. In fact, the combination is better than just a sealant or just the spar urethane. A very durable finish for outdoor wood products is soaking the unfinished wood with boiled linseed oil, letting the linseed oil cure, removing excess cured linseed oil, then applying spar urethane.


Can you apply lacquer over spar urethane?

Look at label on can if urethane is oil based it should be fine. Think of it like basic chemistry.

Im just not sure if they sell a oilbased urethane so check the labels
