Hi, I'm preparing to paint interior of sash window and as a DIY beginner want to check not missing anything. Any help appreciated!
The window was previously painted but paint was cracking really badly so I've ended up stripping all the paint off and sanding smooth. There's a couple of small holes in wood which I've got some Ronseal wood filler to fill.
In terms of next steps do I just need to fill the holes with wood filler, then apply some knot blocker on the knots (I've got some got some Rustins white knotting for this), then paint on wood primer (have some Johnstone's wood primer for new & bare timber), then paint on top coats (Dulux satinwood)?
I'm just wondering because one thing I read said cracking of paint on window frame near glass is often due to not creating a proper seal between the wood and the glass. It didn't explain further so I'm not sure if this just meant failing to create a proper paint layer or if there some other product I should be applying that I'm missing.
Thanks
