Am I right in thinking it is best to use solvent (ie, not water) based
primer for chipboard? I have found a tin of aluminium wood primer. Is
there anything to stop me using that?

The background is that the chipboard was damaged (and swollen) and I
had to rub it down so I don't want it to become swollen again.

Thanks


Is it a floor?
If so consider replacing for strength. Swollen chip sounds like
it's already well on the way to turning back into
weetabix...

No, it's a window ledge. It is rock solid as I stood on it this
morning for another reason. All that is wrong with it is that it is
very slightly raised where the accident (leaking bottle) occurred and
I wanted to make it level before repainting.

I found a tin of solvent based aluminium wood primer, which I thought
would be ideal, but decided to check with some experts first.


A chipboard window ledge?
Sure it's not MDF?

How do I tell the difference? It is the colour of cardboard, and
dull. It could well be MDF.

If it is MDF, what are the prospects of using Dulux solvent based
aluminium wood primer?


Chipboard has visible er chips....
MDF being just glued together dust, doesn't have any visible chips...
