What kit for architraves and frame

[A_Novice]

Hi,

Can't wait for a decorator so want to have a go myself.

I have lots of the below to paint.

The new door I can do. It's primed and just needs painting. The door frames also primed already.

When filling holes in the frame and the bare wood in the photo what do you recommend? I've seen lots where a hardener is mixed in? Can you buy it without the need for that?

Do I just prime the bare wood and then paint?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Use knotting first then prime then fill.

To add to Andy's advice above;
Use ronseal wood filler ready mixed.
It's strong and flexible and easy to sand.
Fill proud and sand next day.

You need decorators caulk for all the long straight gaps. Apply this after the first coat of primer. Remember to wipe all the excess off with a little water, as it does not sand down.

Thanks guys.

Had a decorator booked in but obviously the lock down stopped that.

I worry the finish I get won't be great. I'll try on one door and frame first I think.
