No! Latex is waterbased, and that doesn't mix with oil based materials. You can't even paint one over the other...

Check out your materials before you start - if you take the right materials and preparations, your work will last much, much longer.

Do you stain over new wood, or over something already stained? New wood is best treated with waterstain first (if you want extra coloring). And in restaining, try to find the same material as it was done with before. If you can't figure out what it is, use a shellac sealer.
