Waterlox
Has anyone used Waterlox tung oil finish (high gloss) over a water based
analine dye. I have a curly maple table top that I am getting ready to finish and was considering trying this. Thanks, Frank (Novice Woodworker) |

Seems to me that applying a hydrophobic material onto a hydrophilic material would cause problems. "Larry Jaques" wrote in message ...

Make sure the dye stain is completely dry though because I have had instances where the dye stain mixes with the waterlox and causes blotches. I have also had the same problem using polyurethane (both oil based and water based) so I think the key word here is dry. SH |

I have used it over black, water based analine dye. Works fine. I mix
1/3rd Waterlox, 1/3 pure China tung oil, and 1/3rd terpentine. I apply 3 coats of the waterlox mix over the dye, waiting a minimum of 24 hours between coats.

Dewaxed shellac over water based stain seems to be the way to go. I have
never tried it but in the latest issue of FWW pg 36, the author seals water based dye stain with dewaxed shellac before applying a glaze coat consisting of oil based varnish.

Here are a couple of boxes I did with aniline dye on the curly portions, with Waterlox original over all: http://home.earthlink.net/ ~nateperkins1/Woodworking/projects/christmas2004/PC250141.JPG http://home.earthlink.net/ ~nateperkins1/Woodworking/projects/christmas2004/PC250142.JPG |

I started using Waterlox because I got tired of making my own blend. You mean I'm still missing out? Dang. I will admit to thinning waterlox on occasion though ;-) SH |
