== == Go to a good hardware store and tell them your problem. You will probably have to get a fine grit sandpaper to sand off the latex and probably the whole piece and then restain the piece of furniture. Just before you do that (latex is water soluable) take a damp cloth and lay it on the stain. Then with one of those dish scrubbers (the ones with the one side that is yellow and the other side green) gently scrub this area. It's worth a try before you go to the hardware store.

Water-blasting is a simple method, but only for sound concrete, otherwise you could erode loose concrete.
Solvents are another possibility, but take care with vapours if indoors, and of fire sources nearby.

∙ 12y agoRemove un-wanted latex paint from woodwork by using a mild solvent. Use xylol, or any mild solvent. Test an area in a "hidden" spot if possible. Use a rag with xylol on it and put the rag around a putty knife blade. Use the putty knife with the rag around it with xylol to work at the unwanted paint. Any solvent will eventually wear into the finish, so only work it so hard, wipe with a clean dry rag to check your progress. It is a pain to get the paint off without eventually wearing through the finish, so be careful!

depending on the depth of penetration you could try sanding or planing it.

Can you put conversion varnish over latex paint?
Yes. I have a furniture company and we use this all of the time. Best recipe we have found is using a tinted latex primer or flat latex paint, scuff with 320 grit paper, paint second coat. After drying, lightly sand with 400 grit paper to remove any roughness, spray with vinyl sealer, scuff again with 400 grit paper and spray conversion varnish. Remove dust at each sanding stage with a vacuum and then a static cloth.
