latex did origionally where it didn't have tooth to stick to the origional finish. After that and once bonded to the surface, I used the tooth of the latex to make for a surface the stain would adhere to in doing it's own work. In the origional brain fart, the stain attaching to the latex was not a problem, it was the latex to the origional surface that peeled off readily.

Done the thinning down and clear coats before, didn't need to in this case and it also works as method.
