Dear doctor can you please advise on the best method of painting our newly fitted wooden skirting boards.
Mrs Kelly.Drogheda Co Louth |
Preparation of new wood is straightforward.
Clean off and dust before applying knotting if needed.
Knotting dries almost immediately so primer can be applied soon after.
Primer should be allowed maximum drying time, overnight is best.
When primer is dry, sand down, dust off and undercoat.
For a better finish apply two undercoats, allowing time to dry between coats.
It is a good idea to rub down with fine sandpaper after each coat.
For a superior finish you can apply two coats of top-coat, the second being applied within 24 hours of the first. If the first Finish coat gets too long to harden then the second Finish coat may eventually be susceptible to chipping off.
