Last summer I painted our wooden bay windows with Sikkens Rubbol Primer Plus. Unfortunately, I never managed to finish the job. My query is - what should I do to prepare the surface for Rubbol Satura Plus top coats? Do I need a second coat of primer? If I wash the primer with sugar soap will that provide enough of a key? Or do I need to sand the primer?
 
If the primer went over raw timber, which is what its for, it will need sanding as the primer will lift the grain of the wood. Once sanded it needs undercoating and then top coating with chosen finish.
