Dilbert55 Posted May 9, 2017 #2 Posted May 9, 2017 My master carpenter brother-in-law told me there is no problem using Minwax water based poly over Minwax oil based stain, so I used the wipe on satin poly over oil with no problems at all when finishing my hull 3 weeks ago.

DocBlake Posted May 9, 2017 #3 Posted May 9, 2017 Oil based wiping varnishes tend to add "warmth" to the wood. Water based poly leaves the wood "cold" looking, especially darker wood like cherry and walnut. I use water based only with very light woods like maple and birch. It dries crystal clear, while an oil based finish typically has an amber cast to it.

Julie Mo Posted May 13, 2017 #5 Posted May 13, 2017 I would test it first. Some finishes don't bond well. Or you could put a coat of wax free shellac in between the coats.
