We always used lacquer over watco. Just make sure it is completely dry. We normally used just one coat of watco, with lacquer sealer and finish on top. -- Lynn "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right". Henry Ford |

You can put pretty much anything over the Watco once it has cured. I have put wipe-on poly over it many times. -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

I have successfully used: water based poly, oil based poly, a mixture of DO and Poly (50/50). All worked well. But as stated above, let the DO dry for several days. |

A look that I love is to put a coat of paste wax on top of watco. I did this on a mahogany cabinet and it looks phenomenal. -- Brian T. - Exact science is not an exact science |

As stated above, almost any finish will work on thoroughly dry Watco. Lately, I’ve been mixing it 50/50 with Marine varnish or poly. Makes a nice wipe on finish. -- Gene 'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton |
