Can you use latex paint for a wood fence?

What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.


How can you liquefy dry latex paint for use?

Dried latex paint can not be reconstituted. If you have latex paint in a can and some of the liquid has evaporated, but it still has a creamy texture with no lumps, you may be able to add some water or a latex paint conditioner and make it usable, however, that should only be done when you need to touch up and can not get more of the original paint. If you want to repaint an entire wall, then take the old paint to a paint store and they will match it close enough so that you can use it near the old color.


Can you paint over semi gloss with a satin?

Yes as long as you use the same base paint. You just need to sand it enough to where the paint will adhere. Make sure if the original paint is latex, use latex. If its oil based, use oil based.


Is it possible to put oil base paint over latex floor paint?

yes but you cannot put latex on top of oil based surfaces You actually are NOT advised to put oil over latex surfaces, which is why you're supposed to prime will an oil-based (alkyd) primer. Latex and Polyurethane should always have a layer of oil-base beneath it.

Can you paint over a latex high gloss paint with latex primer without sanding first?

You didn't mention whether you were using latex or oil based primer and paint, but generally the point of using primer is so that you can paint over it with any form of wall paint. Just read the label on your primer can to make sure it is compatible. On the other hand, if you wanted to paint the primer over the satin gloss, you need to sand the surface lightly to remove the sheen of the paint and provide a suitable surface for the primer to adhere properly.
