Damn, you guys are already on this subject and way ahead of me (I had
just commented on the lacquer thread about dewax...).

On another note, on the Minwax pre-stain it seems from the
instructions you can apply the stain before the sealer is totally dry,
at least is not specific. I did some tests and letting it dry all the
way is the key to a good result.

No.

I can't determine if it's dewaxed or no.

It has wax. Dewaxed shellac is sold as Zinnser Seal Coat.
