Yes! Providing that the stain in question is "oil based"! If the stain is LATEX then no. Oil based products will mix, but oil and water won't! Water being the carrying agent of latex!
How much latex stain should you sand off before applying an oil base stain?
All of it. Otherwise the latex stain will seal the surface of the wood and the oil will not be able to penetrate into the wood. Sanding won't remove all of the residue. You'll want to use a paint stripper/stain remover too.
Can a latex painted piece be stained with oil based stain for an antique look?
If you are looking for a faux antique finish you can use stain over latex paint to achieve it. The latex must be completely clean, grease/oil free and dry. The oil based stain, usually in a dark brown colour, is applied with a brush and then rubbed in with a clean absorbent cloth. In this process most of the stain is removed, but what remains settles in the cracks, crevices and corners and simulate the look of the accumulated dirt of years, hence the "antiquing."
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.
Is there a primer so you can put oil based stain over latex?
Most stains, be they latex or oil based are transparent or semi-transparent, using a primer under it would eliminate the possibility of seeing the wood beneath the stain (which is usually why stain is used).A primer is used over oil based paint when you want to switch over to use latex based paint on the same surface.
Will it work If i put Oil stain over flat latex paint?
Not really. Stain needs to absorb in to a wooden surface. If the surface is covered with anything it will reject the oil that carries that stain colour. It will dry against the surface but because its not fully adhered it will come off
How do you know if the stain on your deck is oil-based or latex?
By testing it with denatured alcohol. If the paint comes off on a rag soaked with the alcohol, then it is water based, If not, oil.
How long does it take for watercolors to dry on wood?
If the wood stain is oil based, good luck with that. Latex will dry over dry oil base, but not the reverse. Oil based paints need to penetrate the wood, which is obviously not possible with latex in the way. If the stain is water based, you should have a firm drying in about two hours, permanent in 24.
What paint to use over latex primer?
