My Foreplay base looks great. I used a water-based pre-stain sealer to start. Then I applied Antique Cherry TransFast Dye Powder, which was mixed with water. Finally, I applied several coasts of Tung oil. The wood has beautiful deep red, antique color. I couldn't be happier. I just have a quick question. Should I use clear polyutherane as a top coat? If so, should I use water based or oil based over the Tung oil? Thanks in advance. Special thanks to Bill Epstein for his help.

..........use goopethane. See my No Goopethane Zone rant http://f18.parsimony.net/forum31999/messages/63138.htm
OK, OK. I get the picture. No Goopethane. You have me sold. Sold, that is. Paste wax maybe?
I like this stuff. But then I like water based satin polyurethane, too. http://shop.woodcraft.com/Woodcraft/product_family.asp?family%5Fid=4289&gift=False&mscssid=CF5F16193D594DC090ABFA13B89B35BA
