Painting over varnished wood

kipperfoot · 12 Mar 2004

I have lots of varnished wood in my house-cladding and architrave etc... I have primed, undercoated and egg-shelled over this-but I can see the yellowing of the varnish coming thought already (2 weeks).

Someone told me I should use X primer or something from B&Q that is a primer designed for going over varnish??

Can I still use this? Should I lightly sand, prime again then put more eggshell on?

Does anyone know which type of primer I should use?

Thanks in advance!
