Cabot's water based clear over Wattyl traditional stain
Are there any problems using Cabothane water based polyurethane over Wattyl traditional stain? Any special precautions that need to be taken? I prefer the Wattyl stain over Cabot's interior stain (water based) for a number of reasons. 1) The Wattyl causes almost no raised grain (to my astonishment). By comparison the Cabot's noticeably raises the grain. 2) The Wattyl colour (contemporary maple) is much more to my liking than the Cabot's maple which is yellowish. The stain will be applied to marine ply which has a nice pinkish natural shade that the Cabot's totally hides. 3) The Wattyl brings out the grain better (without raising it). I am only uncertain if using a water based clear over an oil based stain is a no-no. The clear will be applied by HVLP spray gun as the area is large and I want a flawless finish if possible. I have a spray booth set up in the garage ready to go.
