If you are looking forward to starting your project that is DIY by painting something in Wood, then you have to stop right now because you need to use an excellent wood primer (สี รองพื้น ไม้, which is the term in Thai) and learn the basics about it. The wood primer makes it easy for you to paint, and it will also give you a smooth finish, besides giving you an expert look and feel. Above all, the primer is essential and improves the paint that would be used.
The Basics Of Wood Primer
Wood primer is under a coat of any preparatory coating which is put on the wood, mainly before you even paint it. It ensures the durability of the paint job and provides perfect adhesion to the paints to the surface, and keeps the wood protected.
When Do You Need To Use The Wood Primer?
It all depends on the wood that you would end up painting. As per experts, whenever you are painting a new product or wood which is not stained, you need to use the best quality primary or oil-based primer. You need to use the stain-blocking primer if the wood is new and is painted or even stained. If the wood is old, then you need to use the best quality oil-based primer.
How Can You Use The Wood Primer?
You need to clean the wood thoroughly before even you start painting and then sand the surface. After filing the surface, you have to remove all the dust which was accumulated during the process. You can use a wet rag or wash the surface to ensure that it is free from the particles. Then you can start applying the wood primer. You need to paint at least two primer coats that will eventually feel and look chalky.
The primer needs to be mixed perfectly if you want it to work well, and you should know how to apply the primer before you even start painting the wood. You can apply the primer by using a brush spray or even a roll. You can go for the spray primer if you want to go for an easy way to get some good coverage. Brushing will take a little time and more effort but will give you a thin and even surface layer.
