Can alcohol based stain be used under Bohning Blue Clear sealer?  

Thanks, Trap

Hey!
We got us a guinea pig!
Thanks, TRAP, for volunteering. There's not enough of it in today's society.

Never done it, but it seems a safe bet.

I've never tried that particular combo...but lacquers usually don't do well over "non-lacquer" friendly products.  

Experiment on an old shaft first.

Your stain will work just fine under the Bohning clear.

Yes, it works.  I've done it.  However, the first dip of lacquer may loosen the stain a little, i.e., the lacquer that drips off may be a little discolored by the color of your stain.
