Will this work if applied over stain or paint? If so, what can I expect the final color to look like?

No, this product is for application to bare wood. I've used a product like this for over twenty years, it is inorganic/mineral based and must penetrate the wood to react with the fibers.

I would think not. It is a penetrating product that would likely not work at all on a sealed surface.

I applied it to a bee hive lid that had been stained some time ago. It soaked into the wood (I guess where the stain had not been applies well). The stain had a green tinge to start with and it took on a nice mottled look.

It will not work if applied over stain or paint. If the surface has any exposed area, it will work. Color is based on the type of wood's natural disposition when it ages.

Don't know, I only used it on unpainted pine. The color changed to an old weathered look within an hour or so when applied to unpainted wood.

Yes...I think it would work fine over white. I used it over an old dresser set that had been previously painted a light tan color and it covered perfectly.

I would use it over any paint or stain. You may want to check the directions on the paint since it may already have wood sealant and protection, but an extra coat of Thompsons would probably add some additional protection. Make sure the paint is completely dry before using the Thompsons.

No it won't. The color turns into a solid grey appearance once hardened and cured. You may want an acrylic apoxy clear.

I simply cover the area with a visible coating--it disappears in a few minutes. It doesn't stain in my experience.

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.

Depending on how many coats you put on and what method you use. If you use traditional staining methods (put on, wipe off) then it definitely will. If you just later it on, it won't as much.

In this instance I used deck paint on the plastic wood. On other occasions I have used a like material and stained it but first I scored the putty with a knife, giving it a "grain" that would show darker when stained. I tried to match the grain of the surrounding wood. Then a little more stain with a Q-tip to get the shade just right. It worked OK. This stuff should work the same.

Did mine over a year ago, let me see......used spray copper paint for the haul, bottled paint used white, black, the instructions will tell you other colors you will need. One thing I did on my own, I had a dark wood stain, I used it on the deck. Let it dry and sprayed it with a poly spray to keep it from smearing. I know wood stain is for wood, but it will give it a great look. One thing take your time with the ship, work a few hours at a time. May get frustrated at times, but worth it at the end. Any other questions just ask.

I have had no problem just pulling it off but imagine if it won't pull off you could use a putty knife. Mine did not stain my very light paint but it was only up there for a short while. I think the type of wall covering/paint would determine how to remove any stain if there was one.

It will go over paint with no problem and you can work it into the details to make them "pop". However, I like it primarily for stained finishes. Another, and probably better technique with painted pieces is to use a tinted glaze -- you can better control the amount applied and wiped off, and you can use different colors (e.g., tea stain). Good luck.

It will give a deep shine and protective coat to any hardwood floor, but will do nothing to the stains. They will be visible pretty much as they are now thru the protective coating.

Actually, I just applied Preserva Wood, a semi-transparent, oil-based stain, using the sprayer, and it worked fine (mine was "Redwood" color, it it matters). Everything worked well, although I did spend a while cleaning the sprayer afterwards to make sure I got all the stain out, so that it would get gunky inside.

Its just paint, so should work. Just remember there are different shades of white. So use sparingly and try a small place first.

It depends on your expectations. I decided to stain it, thinking I could always paint it later if I wasn't happy with it. It didn't absorb the stain perfectly evenly, but I bought it to go with an antique table which has a lot of variation in the stain color, so I am very happy. Because I wanted to match an existing color, I (with the help of my local paint store) chose a regular oil-based stain in a fairly light color (ZAR Provincial).

I am unsure how it will appear over clay. It would be advisable to seal it first. It has a very real "metallic" look on metal. I am sorry I could not be more helpful. It is a great paint.

I would paint it first, if I were you.The paper is somewhat porous, and once you seal it with paint, it should help keep your stain nice and even.Best of luck :)
