I could never remember or make sense of this either until it was properly explained to me.Oil based products are absorbed to some degree into the wood.Latex products put a "skin" on the surface of the wood.Once latex is put onto a surface,an oil product will not penetrate the latex and therefore is not advised.Latex over oil is fine.Which to use for your application is your choice.Although probably more durable,I dislike cleaning up after using oil and would be willing to recoat with latex more often if necessary. |
