Can an oil based top coat be used over a water based undercoat?

Yes in some cases. In my fine wood finishes, I routinely use water soluble dyes under solvent finishes. For home interior trim woodwork I often apply either water based or oil based primer under oil paint top coat with equal results. In either case, the water based product must be extremely dry before they are covered with solvent top coats.

Can you put an oil based enamel over an acrylic laytex paint?
It is very easy to coat enamel paints with acrylic paints but you really should pay attention to a couple of points if you want it to be successful. Always sand the the enamal well and fill any holes with lindeed putty then apply a good coat of undercoat. I use an oil based undercoat first and then several days later sand the undercoat lightly and coat with acrylic all purpose undercoat. Once you have done this you can apply acrylic top coats. If you are using a self priming type acrylic paint on external work, you could skip the acrylic undercoat and apply it straight on to the oil based undercoat but you must leave it for several days to dry completely before coating with acrylic. I have used both methods over the past 5 years and both have not shown any sign of problems to date.
Can you put lacquer over water-based paint?
Be careful applying lacquer as a top coat over latex or water based paint. The paint will often "craze" (bubble or sag) when lacquer is applied to it.
Can you put Thompson's water seal over latex paint?
You will want to either prep-sand the wood, or apply a chemical prep, available at a paint store. The wood is now classed as sealed. You need, as pointed out to sand the surface use a 120 grit sandpaper then wipe fully to remove the dust, it is then the job of the undercoat to make a base for the final coat. This is important as you will need an OIL BASED undercoat. Water based will not help you and will not adhere correctly. The reason for the undercoat as well is to help the colour definition of the top coat. Its assuming that the wood is going to be outside (as it was water proofed initially) . If this is the case use a good exterior grade top coat or it will whether very quickly
Can you paint over a water based enamel with a water based acrylic?
Yes. We use oil primer on all our out door projects. Not sure why you would want to though. If I was going to put another coat on, why would it be clear? You should just put another coat of whatever color is up there now.

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.

How do you cover a mobile home wall that is covered in an oil based paint?
First, make sure that the surface is clean and dull. If you want to repaint it with oil, apply a coat of oil based paint directly to the surface. If you are wanting to change over to a water based coating, first prime the surface with an oil-based primer, a fast drying stain kill primer will work fine, however, if you plan on sanding the surface afterwards, use an enamel undercoat. Check the primer's label to determine the time to wait to recoat, and then paint with whatever sheen latex paint that you desire.
Why does dog hair come out in clumps when a dog sheds?
This is called blowing coat. This is when German Shepherds loose their undercoat all at one time over the course of a couple of weekes or so - the undercoat oftentimes comes out in large tufts. This can be hormonal or seasonal but in most cases it is simply the dog renewing it's own undercoat naturally so in order to get a new undercoat you have to get rid of the old one first. Best advice during this time is to be patient and groom, groom, groom your dog. Learn more about it in the German Shepherd by reading here: http://www.total-german-shepherd.com/blowing-coat.html
