Although it may feel dry to the touch, it is only surface dry. Depending on both sunlight and humidity, oxygen slowly penetrates through thickness of paint stroke or roller coating. Incredibly, this can take several days for non-oil based types such as latex/Alkaid/rubber paints to fully cure thoroughly down to applied primers. Primed surface usually adds 1-3 hours before painting. And oil based paint drying time can take up to 3 weeks and as much as 30 days to fully cure. Fully cured paints of all the market varieties allow mild surface cleaning thereafter without damage, except in use of abrasive type kitchen/bathroom household cleaners that will remove outer layer of protective surface. Such as destroying gloss from the very best and most expensive brands of paint. That warning always appears somewhere abstract on can label of the manufacturers directions for use.

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.
What to do when latex is painted over oil?
What a nightmare you just encountered, huh? The latex is going to want to peel, and keep peeling. Short of sanding all the paint off that you just applied you can apply a coat of shellac (primer/sealer by Binzer) directly over the peeling latex paint. It dries very quickly and has an awful smell but it will take care of the peeling paint problem. I bet you will never paint over oil again.
