You should check the label on the specific product you're planning to use. If the label states it will adhere to wood with an existing coating, then it's fine to use even over an oil-based stain. (This is because once thoroughly dried, oil-based stains behave the same as water-based stains.) Some products, however, will require the existing stain to be stripped from the wood, or to apply a primer coat over the existing finish before applying new stain.

∙ 10y agoYes, you can put an oil-based stain over a previous water-based stain on a deck. There will be problems doing the opposite as the water will not dry on the oil.

∙ 13y agoI wouldn't . Sand it , stain it, and cover with water repellent ,I like Varathane.

∙ 11y agoI've only seen that done once, and it mostly flaked off the following summer. Doesn't seem like a good idea.

∙ 14y agoNo. In order for the stain to what it is supposed to do [color the wood], it must reach the wood surface. Oil paint coats the wood surface and prevents the stain from reaching it.

∙ 9y agoNo, you can't. The water based stain will not soak in and may bubble up on the oil based stain.

Wood deck tacky after using a waterbased semitransparent stain?
you need to wipe the excess stain off the deck with a clean rag. It will never dry and it will float to the top of the sealer
Can you use interior stain on outside deck?
CAN you? Yes, however you shouldn't unless it is well shielded from the sun's UV rays otherwise, it will quickly fade. Also, most interior stain has no mildewcides added so you'd need to apply an exterior clear over the top to slow mildew growth.
Can you use oil paint on top of acrylic paint?
As long as acrylic is solid and not flaky you can.
Can you use latex stain over polyurethane enforced oil based stain?
Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.

What do you do if you failed to wipe of the stain and the finish is tacky It was an oil based stain applied 20 hours ago?
If it is just the stain with no top coat or sealer on it, just wipe it down with a rag and mineral spirits, paint thinner, Lacquer thinner, anything to put the stain back into solution.

Can you stain a white door?
If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.

As long as acrylic is solid and not flaky you can.
Can you paint over oil paint?
yes..paint KILZ on first Or paint any oil based primer first if your topcoat is water based. Kilz is a stain kill primer and even though it dries fast, it tends to be hard to sand. An enamel undercoat works much better as a bridge. If you're using an oil-based top coat, you do not need a primer, just make sure that the surface is clean and gloss free.
