Stain over paint
-
K on Feb 09, 2015You can use a polycrylic. I have used it over glazes and stains, too. My front door is a fiberglass door with wood grain pattern. I stained it and left it. When I restained it, I used polycrylic over it (poly doesn't yellow) and it is lasting longer and is easy to clean. Hope that helps!Helpful Reply

CK on Feb 09, 2015I've stained over paint too. It takes an enormous amount of time for it to dry....but it will eventually. Leave it alone till it dries completely. Unfortunately you can't dust/clean it and it will probably get some of that into the stain till completely dry. I've found it's much easier to do a paint glaze over paint than use stain :-) If the stain is still damp you may (heavy emphasis on the word may!) be able to wipe it off then apply a darker paint glaze. I've never tried this but you might be able to try it in an inconspicuous area to see if it works.Helpful Reply

Melinda Lockwood on Feb 09, 2015Use a water-based glaze. Brush on and wipe off to desired look. Let it dry and then clear coat it with a water-based polyurethane.Helpful Reply

Postcards From the Ridge on Feb 09, 2015I've also used oil based stain as a glaze over painted furniture. If it's rainy or damp in your area it will definitely take a couple of days to dry completely. I've topcoated it with both acrylic varnish and acrylic polyurethane. It shouldn't be any problem as long as the stain is completely dry. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out!Helpful Reply

Vicki Hufford on Dec 06, 2015Switch from oil based to glazes for future projects. Big variety of colors, clean up with water, dries quickly & you can seal them if desired or leave it Matte. I Love glazes over top of paint as your desired effects are yours to determine.Helpful Reply
