Water based poly over latex?
I am in the process of painting bedside tables , I built for a girls room ,using white latex semi-gloss paint. I am using a brush to apply, since I dont have a tip big enough to spray latex. I used flotroel to help in leveling the paint and will sand flat when dry. Afterwards, I would like to spray on waterbased poly to help in protection of the tables. I am afraid of incompatability though.Latex paint will be kinda soft for quit awhile after application(sometimes weeks), while waterbased poly dries almost instantly. Has anyone successfully done this ? Is there a better way? Thanks, Randy
Latex enamel, not indoors...

I never recommend latex enamel on any woodwork inside the house, period. Brush strokes never level. Heaven forbid you try to paint a slab door or cabinets :eek: I don't care how much Floetrol you use. And, it never dries hard enough. I'd use a clear coat over latex anytime you intend to use what you are finishing.
