Hi,
I have an old house which has old pitch pine mouldings around the doors & skirting etc. I have stripped the old wax stain back on all the wood work to the bare wood. The plan is to paint all of the wood work with oil based eggshell paint from Little Greene.
My questions are what primer do I need for the woodwork prior to applying the top coat ? I was thinking of applying a few coats of Zinsser BIN, followed by a coat of oil based undercoat from Little Greene, as worried about the knots bleeding through.
Alternatively, would two coats of the oil based undercoat be sufficient ?
On further reading, Little Greene supply an aluminium wood primer. I am now totally confused...!
Any advice would be appreciated !
Thanks,
Nicky Walker
