I have finished stripping several layers of paint from an old door
frame. The wood has been sanded and is ready for painting.
The frame is across a hall from a south facing window and gets a lot
of direct sun. The old paint had suffered from many years of
exposure.
My question is: should I use a primer coat of SealCoat on the bare
wood? Will this extra step help with prevention of future
alligatoring? __________________

I would not be picky about the brand for priming bare wood, other
than to choose a good brand from a paint store - Ben Moore, S.
Williams, etc.
Latex primer, latex semi-gloss paint. Paint while the surface is
not
under direct sun. Latex paint has more flex and ability to expand
than oil-based enamels.
...100% acrylic latex is best.
Unless he wants to sand it in the future
