Can I use this over a stained surface without it smearing the stained surface? I plan to use a water base stain.

I would play it safe and use a water based sanding sealer over the stain before applying this. That should act a s buffer or barrier between the two. Plus it will allow for a glass like finish. Since this product is an oil based finish, I don't know if the two are directly compatible. The whole water vs oil thing that is.

There shouldn't be a problem - to be on the safe side allow 3 days from the time you applied the stain to the time you apply the salad bowl finish - with some species of wood it can actually take that long for the stain to "bite" into the wood fibers. I haven't had a problem putting this product over stained surfaces (both oil and water based) however I do allow a 3 day set up time for the stain.

Probably not a good idea; think of this stuff as a water based stain. It would pretty much run everywhere.

Hi Since you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

I would call the manufacturer on this product, I applied it over a latex paint mural and as soon as the temperature changed, it clouded up and destroyed the mural. I lost a lot of time and money. It may do the same thing over Stain. Good luck.

This is a great product, but not a stain. It would produce a slight tint. I would recommend a stain marker to touchup gouges.

If the stain is water based, yes... If the deck is big, it's an OK idea, but small decks, just use a pump sprayer...

I'm using it on a walnut board, so stains were never a problem. Water beads up. Will show if a wet glass sits on it, but very easy to wipe up and polish. The wax does protect the wood and shows it off a little longer than oil

I don't think it would stain white marbel. I have a cream and it works great. No scratching, or staining, and it cleans watermarks. I don't know how well it would clean real old water marks. The longest I've had mine sit is a week.

Have only used it on the grout. It worked really well on stained and mildewy grout.

If it was me I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a painted surface. Just try it on a area that doesn't matter at first to make sure. Good Luck.

My counter top has held up very well. Liquid left on top of it does not affect it. It has not stained to date. I don't see that it would be a problem around a sink if you were able to caulk around the sink so that water could not get under it. I don't think that it would work very well if your kitchen sink is bottom mounted. Hope this helps.

Really not sure about your specific stains. But it did clean my red colored standard brick that runs about 2ft off the ground around portion of my house nicely. In past I used pressure washer and actually removed some mortar and stone! Never again! I used TSP with laundry detergent and bleach this time. Used a push broom type brush to scrub it (not really hard as I have MS and am rather weak) and it cleaned it beautifully. I also used same mixture on patio/walkway 12" x 12" , 1" thick pavers and concrete pavers, redwood deck and siding. Just slopped it on, brushed bad spots - did a great job. All I can say is give it a try, it's not expensive and may be just what you need. If it doesn't work for your brick, you can always use it for other purposes, so it's not a waste. Works great to wash walls and painted furniture/outdoor furniture. My favorite use is to add teaspoon or so to dishwasher w/detergent as booster and about 1/4 cup to laundry soap as same - you will think you have new appliances, it does such a better job. If you are concerned about phosphates/environment, then not for you. It is my understanding this stuff used to be in cleaners before new epa concerns and that's why older cleaner formulas like Spic-n-span worked so well. Not sure if true or not, I read it on the internet lol?

No. This is a water based product and so unfortunately, it is susceptible to both fading and water damage. A product called Microglaze, can be used with these to produce a smudge proof "waterproof" finish.

I haven't used it over stain, but it does impart a very light coloration to untreated wood (almost a richness). I am guessing it will very slightly darken your stain. Even though it is a green product I would think twice before using it on a surface for food prep

I used this product on all wood surfaces on an 18' bridge several years ago and covered over with a premium water based stain. Still looks great today. I can see no reason why you couldn't apply an oil based stain over this product after it has thoroughly dried out. The preservative dries quickly with most of it absorbed into the wood and leaves a surface that doesn't appear to have any film or residue on it and should be compatible with an oil based stain in my opinion.Richard

If you have a fiberglass or plastic type tub, this product will stain it. These type tub and sinks stain very easily I wouldn't have one of this material for this very reason. Have a resin sink in our laundry room and it's a mess with stains and you can't get them off

It is not treated and can be stained. I would use a waterproofer on the top and bottom if left outside in the elements.
