        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Tony, thank you for your question. As it turns out, the Premium Semi-Transparent Stain is recommended only over bare surfaces or previous water-based stains. Keep in mind that applying it over a previous stain may result in an unknown color mix, so removing the previous coating before staining is best. Let me know if you have any further questions. - Randy
