I've read a few threads about primers, but I want to make sure I've get the best answer for my particular situation.
My 100+ year old pine doors have been stripped of 100+ years of paint but are in pretty awful shape - lots of grain, scratches and gouges. I've filled and sanded but now trying to get the best finish I can. I tried a crown primer/undercoat which was pretty hard to use. It dragged and bubbled for some reason and seems to go on quick unevenly.
Can someone recommend a good water-based primer/undercoat? I say water-based because, to be honest, I can't do with the cleaning of oil-based paints!
I'm actually OK with expensive. I've put enough work into these damned doors that I'd rather get them as good as I can.
