Fsupainter Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 So I used a water base conditioner and topped it with a oil based stain. I am using min wax products. The color I am doing is black. What kind of problems will I have. And help would be great as I am building a dinner table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Usually I do not mix oil and water based finish products. I would read carefully on the Minwax labels and website . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fsupainter Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I was using the Minwax poly shade in black. Does that make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlau Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 a water base conditioner may not be compatible with a oil base top coat like polyshades, read the polyshade labe like wd werker said or call jeff jewitt at homestead finishing.

Trip Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt... I never remember, but I believe oil over water generally works, but water over oil doesn't... Again, I never remember... YMMV Whatever you do, try it out of some scrap first... So if it tanks, it's just scrap and no harm done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Did you read the back of the can? Minwax is usually good about indicating what prosucts you can use together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHoleInOne Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Begs the question, why do you need a conditioner? If your going for black, its not necessary spending coin and time with a conditioner. Just hit the wood with the black. Or am I missing something??? -Ace- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
