I have just bought a small cottage in northern Sweden. At the moment
the exterior wood is painted with "slamf�rg", the red paint which
leaves a red powder on your hand if you rub it.

I would like to paint the house with latex paint. Various people have
told me that you shouldn't paint this directly onto slamf�rg.

Is there a sealant that I can paint onto the "slamf�rg", which I can
then paint the latex paint on top of??

If so, what is the sealant called, in either English or Swedish and
preferably both!!

Thanks in advance!

ISTR this red stuff having extremely long life expectancy. So it would
seem more practical to paint it with more slamfärg with added pigment
of your choice.
