Using Oil-Based Paint Over Water-Based Primer on Exterior Woodwork?
Posted: Fri May 20, 2016 12:55 am
I renewed some exterior woodwork, which I am going to paint with oil-based paint. I first primed the wood with a B&Q primer which was erroneously described as "solvent based" on their website. When I came to clean the paint brush I realized the primer was water based. Can I use oil-based paint over this primer as this is the same paint that I've used on the surrounding woodwork which didn't need renewing? Thanks for any advice on this.
