   If you use a water-base dye or stain, the solvents in the water-base finish can cause the dye or stain to "bleed" into the finish - especially if you use a wipe-on or brushing application. If you're spraying the finish, apply 3 very light coats, one right after the other (as soon as the previous coat dries), to seal the stain before spraying a wet coat. If you're wiping/brushing - use a coat of dewaxed shellac over the stain - before the water-base finish.

   If you use an oil-base stain, make sure it's completely dry before applying the water-base finish so it will adhere well.

   I haven't heard of the Aquacote; who makes it?
