Can you put lacquer over stain?

Yes, you can apply lacquer over stain, but it's essential to ensure that the stain is completely dry before doing so. Use a compatible lacquer, as some finishes may react negatively with certain types of stain. Additionally, it’s advisable to apply a clear coat or sealer over the stain first to prevent any potential issues and achieve a smoother finish. Always test on a small area first to ensure compatibility.
