I stained them last night and would like to varnish them tonight.

So the question is will putting a quick drying varnish over the top of
this stain ruin the project?

It says it is a dye and dries in 6 hours. If that is the case, you are good
to go. I've put oil over oil in that time but I've never used water over
oil. I'd try a small section that is not going to be visible or on a scrap
if you have one with the dye on it.

Well now folks. The stain has been a great success and the 2nd coat of
quick drying (water based) varish is on.
Delivery is 12 noon Sunday. Those foam applicators that I first saw on
norms show are excellent for varnish.
I had real trouble finding them in Northern ireland. I eventually had to
get them from axminster.co.uk based in southern england, but they give a
great finish. Are these a North American design? you just never see them
in regular paint stores here in Ireland.

So thanks for you support (confidence). regards connor will publih the
final finished project on my beanpix site. (see earlier post
