Geno, isn't Birchwood-Casey Stock Sheen silicone-based? If this recollection is correct, I think there's an issue: I've heard that silicone residues make it damn near impossible to apply additional finish coats, nearly forever.

Years ago I used silicone-based grease on chem lab glass fittings. The only thing that I recall would dissolve the stuff was concentrated KOH.
