Can you put polyurethane over deck stain?
Can you put stain in polyurethane to darken the color?
Can you use latex stain over polyurethane enforced oil based stain?
Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.

i'm going with minwax polyshades. cabot also makes a stain & polyurethane in one application. i noticed there are 3 questions about how to mix stain & polyurethane on this site. all 3 are unanswered. i was researching the topic & i've seen reference to a polyurethane stain kit. can't find out what a polyurethane stain kit is. my tenant left behind an opened can of minwax polyshades. i tried some of it out & i think it looks fine. i sanded some of the scratches & paint stains out, put on a coat of natural wood stain & i'm using the polyshades as an overcoat. there are still some scratches but it looks a lot better than it did before. the polyshades should help mask some of the scratches & give it a more even tone. bottom line - it's really difficult to find information on how to mix stain & polyurethane so the minwax & cabot all in one products look good to me. i wish they came in sizes larger than a quart, but easier to go pick that product up than to continue looking for information that indicates what a polyurethane stain kit is & how to use it.
Will polyurethane lighten stain on wood?
No, it will not lighten stain, just add another layer. The only way I have ever been able to lighten stain is to sand it off carefully.

How do you remove polyurethane from fabric?
You can remove polyurethane from fabric by scraping off the excess using a rubber scraper. Use the blade of a sharp knife to further remove the top layer of polyurethane. Then, apply acetone to the stain and allow it to work for 10 minutes before rinsing the fabric with water. If the fabric is white, soak it in bleach and water for 30 minutes, then wash as usual.

Can you tint poly with a little stain?
Minwax makes a product called Polyshades that has stain and polyurethane mixed together. It is not meant for floors. Adding stain to polyurethane will cause the chemicals to be deluded. It will not bond correctly and possibly not dry at all.

How do you remove nail polish from pine table?
Um... nail polish remover? Just a guess. I mean, I've seen nail polish remover sold in stores, and I've always wondered what it was used for. But, when I saw this question, it just jumped out at me that, MAYBE, nail polish remover could be used to REMOVE NAIL POLISH. But again, that's just a guess.I'm sorry but this answer isn't right. First off nail polish REMOVER is used to REMOVE nail polish via nails. If you use it to remove nail polish from a table then you have the possiblility of removing the varnish (the product used to stain a wooden table) Then you have to re-stain the area and then you are getting into a process that's hard to do.I'm NOT sorry, but the first answer most certainly IS correct, and the second answer isn't an answer at all. The questioner didn't ask how to remove nail polish from a wooden table without removing the varnish too. He/she simply asked how to remove nail polish from a wooden table. And nail polish remover, if its name is any indication at all of its purpose, will do the trick. The questioner didn't even say that the table HAD varnish, so possibly it's not even an issue, but for the purposes of this question, it's not an issue anyway, since the questioner didn't mention anything about varnish.Moreover, there's not really anything all that hard about re-staining the area. 1 - buy stain to match the color, 2 - buy paint brush, 3 - apply. Also, if a table is stained, it also likely has two or more coats of polyurethane on top of the stain, and though nail polish remover might remove some of the polyurethane, if you are careful with the nail polish remover, you're not going to go completely through the polyurethane to the stain beneath it. Then it's just a matter of applying more polyurethane (if needed) over the spot, sanding it, and applying another coat. You don't even have to worry about matching colors, since polyurethane is clear.In any event, since the second contributor didn't actually offer an answer, the first answer (though admittedly quite sarcastic) is still the best answer so far. If someone knows of a product that will remove nail polish without affecting the stain or the polyurethane, then that will be a better answer. But until then, the first answer, obvious as it is, is the best answer.Also, the second answer says that "varnish" is "the product used to stain a wooden table". That is not technically true. Varnish is the clear coat that is applied after the stain to seal the piece and protect it from moisture (and nail polish too, for that matter). The polyurethane mentioned in the second paragraph of this answer is a type of varnish.
