water. Little bits at a time, stir, then add a little more until desired consistency.
Latex.
You have a contradiction ! - Latex primer CAN NOT BE oil based.
I would use Kilz latex primer.
NO ! - woodstain does not use a primer.
It's primer made with a latex or acrylic base. You can use any kind of paint over this.
It depends what kind of finish you will put on it, and whether it will be indoors our out: Indoors, latex paint: use latex wood primer Indoors, varnish: no primer required but can be stained, may need multiple coats Indoors, oil base: use an interior oil base primer Outdoors, latex paint: use an exterior latex wood primer Outdoors, varnish: no primer required but can be stained, use exterior varnish Outdoors, oil base: use an exterior oil base primer It depends what kind of finish you will put on it, and whether it will be indoors our out: Indoors, latex paint: use latex wood primer Indoors, varnish: no primer required but can be stained, may need multiple coats Indoors, oil base: use an interior oil base primer Outdoors, latex paint: use an exterior latex wood primer Outdoors, varnish: no primer required but can be stained, use exterior varnish Outdoors, oil base: use an exterior oil base primer
Not directly. You will need to use a primer made to adhere to oil and will accept a latex topcoat.
paint it with a universal primer such as "BLOCKER" brand first Yes, you can. My preference is to use oil base primer under latex (water base) paint, because in my experience the oil base primer lasts longer. It stays stuck to the wood longer. I think latex primer is basically bogus. I have wasted a lot of time using latex primer and it comes loose and I have to sand it all off and use oil base primer. Latex primer does not work. Just like latex paint sticks poorly to bare wood. Latex paint does not have much "stick" (also called "tack"). It is a thin sheet of rubber, and there is very little "tack" to it to keep it glued to the wood. Latex peels off readily, once you put a knife under an edge.
You can use either a water or oil-based paint over a latex 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.
Yes, you can use either latex or oil based primer.
Either oil or latex primer can be used over interior latex paint.
