I wouldn't add poly - if you need to re-stain to intensify the color you
will have sealed the wood (the main reason I don't use polyshades.) Just
curious - why would you want to thicken the stain? The purpose of stain is
to penetrate deep into the wood. Thicker would involve pigments remaining
on the surface.

Does anyone know how to thicken minwax oil stain? Can I just add in poly?
It'll be top coated with poly at the end.

Thanks Much,
