Paints often need to be stirred throughly before use. why?

Because paints are made up of several chemicals as well as the actual paint, it tends to separate into layers when it has been sitting around for too long. Therefore, it needs to be stirred when you are going to use it again.

Can you use latex paint over oil base primer?

yes. However, you cannot use an oil base paint over a latex primer. If you change your mind on the paint, you must strip the paint before you use an oil based paint on the primer.


Why do you need to stir paint before using it?

Stirring for 3 -4 mins. is preferred (especially heavy paints like primer) since shaking can introduce air bubbles which will have to be stirred away before you apply the paint to the surface you are painting, otherwise pots marks will appear and a second coat will be necessary to conceal the blemishes. Frequently, when asking someone at the paint counter to stir a couple of paint cans for you they will place all of them on a shaker machine to save themselves some time and trouble - insist on the centrifugal machines instead. Happy painting! BTW - Use a halogen work light to identify problem areas before painting and during application of paint. I prefer to paint out of direct sunlight and use 1 or 2 halogen work lights for illumination and great results.


Would oil based paint be the best idea for a plywood shed floor?

Probably....if you feel that you must paint it. I would apply a good alkyd primer first, then several coats. Whatever you put on there is going to get trashed soon. Also, it will be very slippery unless you use some non skid additive on your final coat. Make sure that you keep the paint well stirred when you put it on with the additive if you decide to use it.
