Hi
We are edging towards the end of a three year whole house renovation. Running out of steam we have got some decorators in.
Their method is to paint the wood with primer and then use wood filler over that to repair the wood. This seems wrong to me - wood filler is for wood, and introducing another layer between these two materials 1. disrupts the intended chemical/mechanical bond and 2. adds a further two layers of bond (wood to pain, paint to filler) that can potentially fail.
Am I right, and should I raise a fuss, or are they okay with their methods?
Many thanks
Jon
