Hi all
We made the mistake a year and a half ago of painting all the wood in the house (skirting, door frames, etc.) with a satinwood paint but WITHOUT priming or undercoating first. The wood all had stain or varnish on previously. That's the last time I listen to anyone at B and Q!!!!
We are having new doors fitted next week and this will require the door stops to be moved, and some re-decorating will therefore be needed on the frames. I've had a look and in some places the paint peels off really easily - especially on the inside of the frame where the stops are. It's a bit more stubborn on the outer parts of the frame. Don't know if that's because it its different wood?
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone could advise me on what I should do. Do I need to remove ALL the paint, or should I just remove it where it comes of easily?
Any other tips or advice? I know that this time around I need to use a primer and undercoat, just not sure what's the best way to undo what's already been done and how I should get the woodwork prepared.
Many thanks
Max
