Is it possible to apply a water-based or oil-based stain on a floor that will receive a clear finishing oil as protection?
A coat of stain does not protect the wood like a coat of oil, so it is necessary to apply a protective coat on a floor that has been stained. Most finishing oils are perfectly compatible with water-based, solvent-based, and oil-based stains. The important thing is to wipe off the stain so that it dries quickly and perfectly, and to wait for a minimum of 24 hours before applying the finishing oil.
