Default wood primer

From: wanderer )

Each to their own, I guess. I used Weathershield some years ago on my
last place. Stripped back to bare wood, primed, two u/c, and two

gloss
coats - the 'gloss' wasn't, it was more of a sheen, and the whole lot
lasted three years and started flaking off and had to be replaced

with
an oil-based paint that at least lasted for four years before it

needed
a repaint. Personally I wouldn't touch the stuff, but in the end you
pays your money and takes your choice.



What would you use? Pliolite? I dont care whether the finish is gloss
or satin, but I do need maximum life and dont mind paying for it. I
once proposed using car spray paint, but was told it wouldnt survive
the movement of the wood. Its for exterior wood windows.


Regards, NT
