| OK, I know better, but the previous people did not. So now I have a staircase with latex paint over oil, and it is of course not sticking. If I put acrylic primer over it before I repaint, what are the chances it will stick??
I know that there is painting forum, but my luck on that side has never been good. Help!! tia, Nancy. |

| Nancy, I know that when you paint over oil, even with more oil, you need to clean thoroughly with TSP and water, rinse it off, and either sand to rough up the surface, or use a deglosser. Then, I've read that if you're covering with latex, use an oil-based primer like original Kilz first. Use good ventilation with that stuff. I'm not an expert on this so I can't say that an acrylic primer wouldn't work, but the Kilz seems to be recommended more. If the acrylic primer specifically says that it can be used over oil, it probably would be OK. Hope the latex comes off easily for you. ThinMan |
