Product Information

All of our primers have been expertly designed to increase paint durability, add additional protection to any materials being painted, and ensure better adhesion or paint to surfaces. They can be used on iron, steel, plaster and softwood. On previously painted surfaces which are in very good condition, with no obvious problems such as knots or flaking, sand thoroughly. (You could also apply Gloss Off or ESP for belt and braces adhesion) and then apply 2 or 3 coats of Estate eggshell. That should work. For those concerned about toxicity and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in traditional paints, milk paint and chalk paint offer non-toxic options suitable for MDF.

She had taken advice, from who knows who, to use the full F and B system. So she sanded and cleaned down the units, then applied F and B primer/uc, which was to be followed by 2 coats of Estate Eggshell, exactly as she had been told to do.

One of the main advantages of oil-based paints is their long lifespan and smoother finish than water-based paint.

Properties

All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material. Prime bare metal surfaces such as nail heads with the appropriate Johnstone’s Primer. Rub down previously painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper. Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask when dry sanding. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960’s paint surfaces over wood and metal, as they may contain harmful lead. She is adamant that she wants F and B eggshell, even though I won’t guarantee it, but I want to build up the coatings and don’t want to use the F and B primer/uc.
