Hi,
I need to prime some WBP plywood before painting with a top coat of low slip paint (Bradite Polyurethane DP5) and wondered what my options were?
I primed one panel of the plywood with Zinsser Cover Stain but am not sure if this is the best product for my needs. The Zinsser Cover Stain is quite thick and when applied to the bare plywood I seem to be using quite a bit of paint to get a decent 1st coat of primer plus it is not that easy to apply in warm weather. There are no details on the tin about thinning the Zinsser Cover Stain so I am not sure if I could do this to get a bit more coverage and easier application?
Are there any other options for a primer for bare WBP Plywood that will then receive a top coat of polyurethane low slip paint? I think that I read on another thread that aluminium primer can be used to prime bare plywood and wondered if this could be used. Just to clear up any confusion would this be Aluminium Wood Primer rather than a primer used to prime aluminium?
Once fully painted, the plywood will be used as staging with an aluminium tower for home/domestic use so there is no need for a high quality finish as long as it is weatherproof and has the low slip top coat.
Any suggestions most appreciated.
