Bizarre paint problem: Primer repelling topcoat
Hello,
I've just built some shelving using MDF and have just encountered some kind of paint incompatibility the like of which I have never seen before. Specifically I primed the shelving with Homebase own brand wood and metal primer (oil based)....but when I try to apply a top coat the paint has been repelled as if I am trying to paint wax!! On this occasion the top coat is Farrow and Ball "Modern Emulsion"...which is water based and 'kin expensive. Pic he http://www.hernibles.com/paint_small.jpg What really puzzles me is that the same paint combination on bare wood just works with no problem at all. What the heck is going on? David |
