Painting fireplace bricks. What primer?

apul · 27 Dec 2006

Hello guys!

Just about to point up the back of a large open fireplace. The bricks are stained with many years of soot.
We have now decided to paint the bricks. There will be an electric fire in there for the moment. Should I use a sealer or primer on the brickwork before I paint? Any recomendations?

Thanks
Paul

Give em all a really good scrub down and wash

Then a coat of thinned out alkali resisting primer..its sticks to bricks well

Thin by about 25%
