I had new windows installed yesterday. Yay. Now I have
to paint the unfinished wood (interior only).

Pella says to choose a paint with good blocking resistance.

Without knowing it, you have voided your warranty at the install.
Interior wood by some makers give X number of hours/days to finish the
trim inside.

Ahhh, they haven't even finished the install and I'm out of warranty!
Actually, it says if you can't get to it right away, essentially don't
let
it get wet.

What "blocking"?

I stole the following definition from some website. If I had
to describe it, it's that some paints stay tackier than others.
Like when you open a door and you can hear the paint sticking.

The ability of a material to resist sticking due to one or more of the
effects of
temperature, pressure or relative humidity.

Given my options with new interior wood (windows) I would maybe stain
with a light color too help seal the wood and perhaps paint later.

Hmm. I've been kicking around finding some kind of primer to at
least hit the parts that might get wet, as I am not going to be able
to pick up the paint until Saturday morning.

Thanks. nancy


Whattya mean, "kicking around finding"? Use whatever's around the house from
some previous project?
