Best Answer

Most stains, be they latex or oil based are transparent or semi-transparent, using a primer under it would eliminate the possibility of seeing the wood beneath the stain (which is usually why stain is used).

A primer is used over oil based paint when you want to switch over to use latex based paint on the same surface.

No, it won't 'dry'. The latex will prevent the oil being absorbed.

I would't, never mix water-base with oil-base, they can mix the color you want in oil-base, it just takes a bit longer to dry, and you won't run into problems later.

Can you use latex stain over polyurethane enforced oil based stain?

Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.
