I have a real problem. A contractor applied latex over oil base paint on interior doors and trim. The latex did not adhere and can be stripped off easily with a finger nail. He does not want to strip off the latex and repaint. He wants to sand and paint over with some other type of paint. I believe that the bond will never be any stronger than the present one. Must the latex paint be stripped off before repainting?

If you are painting over a latex paint, and it's humid inside the paint won't stick… Big mess!
