Wooden Bed Help

[Guy58]

Hello everyone,

I just purchased 'Sikkens Cetol Marine Gloss' to refinish my stepside with. I am in the process of sanding the boards. They appear to be oak but are very light in color after sanding. I would like to use an oak stain to bring out the beauty of the grain a little more.

I have spoken with a woodworking shop in town and they said if you use a oil based stain like Minwax that 'Sikkens Cetol Marine Gloss' has to be oil based too.

Does anyone have any experiance using 'Sikkens Cetol Marine Gloss' over a wood stain?

Does anyone know if it is an oil based product? I have read the can twice and it simply does not say one way are the other.

Thanks for your help,
Guy
