Quick-Drying Wood Primer & Undercoat, Any good?

kilo_4que · 12 Aug 2008

Hi guys I have been told by a friend who works at B&Q paint and decorating department that this is very good and would reduce the need to prime and then undercoat seperately. Can anyone give me an idea as to how good it really is.

The window frames I am painting were stripped bare and are free from any paint

thanks

If this is a water-based Acrylic, them yes, it is quick and easy, and has little smell.

However it is not durable enough for outdoor work.

Window frames need more care, more thorough preparation and better products than anything else you might ever paint.

My preference is for Aluminium Wood Primer on such, it has excellent adhesion and protection, and stands up to hot sun, and also seals knots and resin pockets (which bleed worse in sun). Others will have different opinions.

Only thing I would add is - according to Dulux - this product is ok for exterior use as well. I posted this very question some time ago (exterior usage) and it seemed to cause some debate between the usual guys on here.
