Hi,
I've read quite a few of the Waterlox posts on here and have a few questions.
I'm about to start finishing a mahogany fireplace stained with Old Masters Gel stain. The stain went on well and I'll leave it for 72 hrs (per instructions) before finishing. I'm concerned that application of the finish will take up some of the stain. I have both the original sealer/finish and the satin Waterlox and have some questions:
1) Does the Original sealer/finish require thining 50/50 if wiped on or does that only apply to the Satin and Gloss products?
2) Should I brush or wipe on the first coat to help eliminate the possibility of lifting the stain.
3) The fireplace and surround is in place and much of the surfaces are vertical, whats the best approach to finishing with Waterlox on vertical surfaces.
Thanks,
Wayne
