To prime or not to prime...

We are having building work done. The facia boards went up today. Shouldn't they have been primed first on all sides?

If I just prime what I can get to will that be ok?

apply knotting over the knots then prime with oil based primer - covering what you can will be better than now`t. . It`s a moot point wether they should be primed all round

I always Knot, Prime and undercoat before fixing. Soffits also gloss before fixing - you only have to touch up the joints upside down.

Thanks guys. I'll treat the knots and undercoat this weekend.

Treat the knots and PRIME this weekend

Styptic not cryptic but knotting followed by acrylic primer would allow an u/c this weekend - even today
