Hi guys,
While decorating a bedroom, I took the windowsill, skirting and architrave back to bare wood. It was a miserable job, and I'm never doing it again, but it looks nice enough - although the gloss did cover a multitude of sins.
The other wants to move, and I'm not replacing/stripping the rest of the rooms. I was thinking about painting them with water-based satinwood, which will require a primer over the now bare wood - I'll probably use Zinsser 123.
Question: if I wanted the rest of the house to match, can one just sand down traditional gloss, then repaint with water-based satinwood? I figure I'd probably need a primer first.
If neither is likely to work well, I might just give in and re-gloss the bedroom trim.
