Craigd. Usually using traditional Brit type of stock finish colour transfer from the base colour to the finish is not a problem because each is fully compatible with the other. Saying that it is not a perfect world so whenever I used Oil or water based stains, after allowing the stain to truly dry I use a trick borrowed from a furniture restorer. To isolate the stain in the wood from the top coat with a flash coat of Clear( sometimes known as white French Polish) or Garnet French Polish before applying the finish.
