No Primer Ahh!!!!

Guys

Have cocked up big time!

Just reaching the end of some reasonably major work in my daughters room and have just 'primed' the bare wood skirting and door frame. unfortunately as I was putting the lid back on the 'primer' I noticed that I'd grabbed the wrong pot from the garage and it was undercaot - onto new wood ahhhhh.....

Can any of you experts tell me what the likely consequences are?

I am usually quite a competent DIY'er but I'm now absolutely gutted!

Cheers

Happens to the best of us. Just let it dry properly and a light rub down between further under/coats.
It'll be good as long as you've "knotted" it prior to the primer/uc.

Thanks for the words of comfort Growler although you mention primer/undercoat. Unfortunately it was purely undercoat, not a combi type. Although at least I did use knotting prior to applying!

I suppose only time will tell but I think you have saved me from myself. I was about to try and strip it all back to bare wood again but am up against it timewise and need to get the room finished!!

Thanks again.

dont think you will have any problems at all. just give it a good run down and undercoat again.

Thanks Carl, thanks again Growler, it's so good to know that there are people out there with a level head when you loose your own!!

Advice taken and 'primer' rubbed down and re-coated. In hindsite I think I got a little over dramatic about my cock up - either that or the Cider was kicking in!!

Fingers crossed that I've got away with it and thanks again guys.
