Oil over Gel Stain?

SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC on Jan 25, 2015Sure, just prep it properly - clean grease & dirt off (TSP is a favorite for really grimy items), maybe lightly sand... Of course once you paint it staining is out unless you bring it back to bare woodHelpful Reply

Diane Pace Plocica on Jan 27, 2015I wouldn't do it without sanding. And a good oil-based primer is never a bad idea :-)Helpful Reply

Workerbee on Jan 28, 2015@SLS Construction & Building Solutions LLC is right do your prep work first. Also the gel stain finish needs to be adhering well, not peeling or blistering. Your top coat is only as good as the base coat. Good luckHelpful Reply
