How Can I Tell if Trim Paint is Oil or Latex?

[Mike]

I'm repainting rooms. How can I tell if a paint is latex or oil based?

Thanks

Apply a solvent that dissolves one but not the other.

Use rubbing alcohol on a rag. Latex will come off, oil base won't.

I need to determine if paint on the wood trim is oil or latex.
