Problems with oil vs. latex paints

I am refinishing a table and 2 chairs for my daughter. I sanded them down and used an oil based Kilz primer. Now that I am painting the colors on, it seems that maybe I'm using a latex based paint because after over 36 hours, the paint is still tacky to the touch. I didn't even think about the oil vs. latex being a problem when I started. I just used the only form of Kilz we had already. Am I going to have to restrip the paint and primer and start all over?

Kimberly Barney on Jul 30, 2013If you use oil primer, you must use oil paint. You will need to strip and re-start or purchase the color paint in oil. It may cover the latex without a problem. I'm not sure. You should also never use the same brush for oil paint as you do other types of paint.Helpful Reply
