Mixing oil (alkyd) based paints with water doesn't work! Mineral spirits (paint thinner) should be used to thin aklyd paints, and water should be used to thin latex paints. There are some types of stains that are an oil-water mix, but these are special cases.

If you accidentally mixed oil based paint and water together, you may need to start with a fresh can.
