I think I followed some rum advise from an old guy.
I stripped a south facing sash window and he told me to just use one coat of aluminium paint as a primer/undercoat then two coats of gloss. He said that is how greenhouses were painted to stop the sun baking the paint off.
Well I shaded the drying paint and left a week between each coat.
Six months later the paint has all but fallen off the window sill but the windows are ok.
I'm thinking the sill is hard wood and should have had primer on it.
Any ideas, or shall I just cover it with lead.
Thanks
