I am painting an old mahogany chest of drawers and opted for a light colour to the drawer fronts.
Unfortunately there are stains showing through the paint. After doing som internet research I now realise these are bleed-through marks. I should have sealed the wood before chalk painting with a light colour.
On the internet Zinsser BIN shellac based primer is suggested, even at this stage to overpaint the stained paint.
In my town there is only a small decorating shop which doesn't stock BIN. They are actually closing down so suggested I try the Thompsons one coat damp seal paint (see link below)
https://www.screwfix.com/p/thompsons-one-coat-damp-seal-white-750ml/38631
As they are closing their paint has been reduced, so a small tin would cost about £5 which would be ideal .. and much cheaper than BIN ALONG AS IT WILL WORK
Has anybody here used this product to control bleed through ?
Did it work ?
thanks !
