I can't get the color I need in a oil based wiping stain from any General Finishes vendor but I can get a perfect match using an Old Masters wiping stain. Does anyone for see a problem with using Arm-R Seal after the stain has dried?

Once the binder in the stain is cured, I doubt there will be any issue with using the oil based Arm-R-Seal over it. If you're really concerned, you can always use a barrier coat of wax free shellac to be sure, but I really don't feel it's needed.

OB over OB is perfectly fine but, as Jim said, make sure the stain has dried well before applying the ARS.

Kind of what I thought but I wanted to draw on the experiences of this fine group. Thank you.
