Hi,
I've been doing a lot of reading about various water based satins and decided to go for Johnstone's trade Aqua Guard satin, as this paint is fully water based and is said to be quite hardwaring and durable. I'm aware that oil based paints and hybrids are much better, but I don't want any yellowing (parts of the room don't get any sunlight, the walls are also going to be brilliant white so any yellowing will stick out like a sore thumb).
I've stripped all the old paint and loose old filler from the skirting boards (see picture)
My plan of action is this.
1. Carry on filling holes and dents with white wood filler.
2. Sand the white wood filler level with 80 grit sandpaper.
3. Fully prime? Or maybe just spot prime knots with something?
4 Let it dry.
5. Light sand with 180 grit sandpaper.
6. Undercoat with Johnstone's Aqua undercoat.
7. Let it dry
8. .Light sand with 240 grit sandpaper
9. Paint a coat of the Aqua Guard .
10. Let it dry.
11. Paint another coat of the Aqua Guard .
12. Sit back, relax and marvel.
My main question is. Do I really need to fully prime the bare wood or just spot prime the knots or is there no need to prime at all as i'm going to be using Johnstone's Aqua undercoat?
If I do, which primer is a good one for 60 year old bare wood?
Thanks in advance.
