Hi, I am about to re-paint all exterior windows of my old house. The current sash windows have paint peeling off in places with some bare wood exposed. I have primer,undercoat and a good gloss to paint and want to do a good job that will last.
However what is the best way to prep the windows? If I just sand and then paint primer onto the bare wood will it look uneven when finished? To counter this, do I need to get a blowtorch and melt off all the paint? I have never done this before and it sounds like a big job (have a lot of windows to do).
All advice welcome as although I have done loads of painting it's mainly been internal or a new coat on a good surface.
Thanks in advance for your help.
