Hi,
I'm in the middle of painting all the stair spindles and rails in the house after having a loft conversion.
I have covered the original stained wood with Dulux Trade Supergrip and a layer of Dulux Trade Aluminium wood primer as the colour was bleeding through and I do not want to take any risks. I'm trying to stick to water-based paint, as I have young children (Aluminium paint gave no option)
On the new wood, I have treated the knots with Colron Knotting solution and primed with Dulux Trade quick drying Primer undercoat.
Questions....
1) Should I sand the Aluminium Primer layer before painting over with undercoat? I'm worried that if I damage the layer, the colour will come through. Planning to undercoat then sand
2)Will the Dulux Trade quick drying Primer undercoat be OK over the Aluminum Primer?
3)I have noticed the Knotting solution showing through the Water-based primer on the new wood. Will this cover up with more coats or should I use a layer of oil-based undercoat over the patches that I have applied knotting solution.
4) I'm planning to finish with Dulux Quick drying satin., probably two coats. Are there any issues with the following?
New Wood: Knotting (done), Primer undercoat (done), Two coats Satin Wood
Stained Wood: Supergrip (done), Aluminium Primer (done), Water-based primer undercoat, Two Coats Satin Wood
I could really do with some advice before making a mistake!
